For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Mountnessing who don't want visible metal. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
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.
