Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Pont-Ceri?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Pont-Ceri. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
