Clear Aligners in Roedean

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Roedean choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Roedean

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.

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Roedean are typically every 7–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Roedean

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.

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.
