For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Plenty of patients across Over Blelock choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
Aligners or Braces in Over Blelock?

Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.

Comparing local aligner providers in Over Blelock
