Aligners or Braces in Queensferry?

Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.

For complex movements — large rotations, significant overbite correction, extraction cases — fixed braces tend to be more predictable. For mild-to-moderate cases, well-fitted aligners deliver comparable results with more comfort.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Queensferry?

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 Queensferry. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
