For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Among New House patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in New House?
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.
Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in New House. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
