A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Mynydd-bach choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Mynydd-bach?
Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.
They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Mynydd-bach. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
