Aligners or Braces in Rhiwddolion?

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Rhiwddolion?

Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.

Aligners are also unsuitable with untreated gum disease, significant missing teeth without a plan, or where daily wear is likely to be inconsistent. Teenagers who may struggle with wear hours can do better in braces.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Rhiwddolion. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
