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.

Adult Braces & Aligners in Penrhosfeilw

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Clear aligners, ceramic and lingual systems let most adults treat their teeth without anyone noticing. The main difference for adults is a pre-treatment gum assessment and, sometimes, a slightly longer timeline.

Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Penrhosfeilw orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
