Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in South Mundham?

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

The Clear Aligner Process Explained

It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.

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 South Mundham are typically every 8–12 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
