Invisible Aligners Available in Southrey

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Southrey, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.

Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Southrey

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.

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.
