A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Saxlingham Nethergate patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
Aligners or Braces in Saxlingham Nethergate?
The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.
On cost, aligners in Saxlingham Nethergate are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
How Clear Aligners Work
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.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Saxlingham Nethergate are typically every 6–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.

Whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended usually comes down to case complexity rather than personal preference alone.
