Invisible Aligners Available in Oreton

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Oreton who don't want visible metal. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?

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.

The Clear Aligner Process Explained

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Oreton 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.
