Invisible Aligners Available in Tanglwst

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Tanglwst who don't want visible metal. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.

The Clear Aligner Process Explained

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 Tanglwst are typically every 8–11 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

The journey in Tanglwst usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam.

This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
