Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Among Old Clee 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. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Old Clee?
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 Old Clee. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Old Clee
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.
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.
