Invisible Aligners Available in North Common

For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. In North Common, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.

The Clear Aligner Process Explained

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in North Common model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.

Review appointments in North Common are typically every 6–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
