How Aligner Treatment Works in Perriswood

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

Review appointments in Perriswood are typically every 6–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Perriswood?

Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Perriswood. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
