Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Radway Green who don't want visible metal. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Radway Green
Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Radway Green are typically every 6–11 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.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Radway Green?
They work well for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and bite correction. Cases needing large vertical movements or with significant skeletal discrepancy usually do better with fixed appliances.
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 Radway Green. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
