How Clear Aligners Work

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.

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Parliament Hill are typically every 8–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Parliament Hill?

They work well for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and bite correction. Cases needing large vertical movements or with significant skeletal discrepancy usually do better with fixed appliances.

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 Parliament Hill. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

Which is better — aligners or braces in Parliament Hill?

Both treatments can deliver excellent results when correctly matched to the case. The best choice in Parliament Hill is the one your clinical assessment supports, not the one that sounds nicer. A photo assessment is a quick way to see which direction your case is likely to go.

Which Cases Suit Clear Aligners?
