Removable Clear Aligners in Teigh

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Plenty of patients across Teigh 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. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Teigh?

Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.

Aligners are also unsuitable with untreated gum disease, significant missing teeth without a plan, or where daily wear is likely to be inconsistent. Teenagers who may struggle with wear hours can do better in braces.

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