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.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Old Hall Street. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
