A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Pixey Green patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Pixey Green
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Pixey Green 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 Pixey Green are typically every 7–11 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
Aligners or Braces in Pixey Green?
Both can produce excellent results when matched to the case. Aligners suit disciplined patients who value discretion; braces suit those who'd rather the appliance do the work automatically.
On cost, aligners in Pixey Green are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
Aligners in Pixey Green — Local Context
Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with fixed braces.
