Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Plenty of patients across Mavesy choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Mavesy
Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.
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 Mavesy are typically every 6–12 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
Both can produce excellent results when matched to the case. Aligners suit disciplined patients who value discretion; braces suit those who'd rather the appliance do the work automatically.
Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Mavesy, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
