A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Nobold patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
The Clear Aligner Process Explained
It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.
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 Nobold are typically every 8–12 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 Nobold
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.
For complex movements — large rotations, significant overbite correction, extraction cases — fixed braces tend to be more predictable. For mild-to-moderate cases, well-fitted aligners deliver comparable results with more comfort.
Aligners in Nobold — Local Context
Whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended usually comes down to case complexity rather than personal preference alone.
