Clear Aligners in Peat Cot

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Peat Cot, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

Aligners or Braces in Peat Cot?

The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.

Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Peat Cot, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Peat Cot

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 Peat Cot 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.
