Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Plenty of patients across Seathorne choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. 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.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Seathorne?
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.
They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Seathorne. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
