Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Plenty of patients across Pharisee Green choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
