A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Maryton, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
The Clear Aligner Process Explained
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Maryton model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Maryton are typically every 7–12 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Maryton
Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.
On cost, aligners in Maryton are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
