A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Oldwalls patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Oldwalls
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.
Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Oldwalls, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Oldwalls?
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 Oldwalls. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. There is no upper age limit, and modern options are more discreet and comfortable than ever. The main difference for adults is a pre-treatment gum assessment and, sometimes, a slightly longer timeline.
Getting Your Gums Ready for Treatment
Because gum disease and recession are commoner in adults, a periodontal check is the necessary first step. Straightening teeth through inflamed or receding tissue risks accelerating bone loss, so Oldwalls orthodontists will want evidence your gums are healthy before starting.
