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.

Adult Braces & Aligners in Teavarran

Adult orthodontics in Teavarran has grown dramatically over the past decade. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. The main difference for adults is a pre-treatment gum assessment and, sometimes, a slightly longer timeline.

Gum Health Before Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Teavarran orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
