Invisible Aligners Available in Tigharry

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Tigharry who don't want visible metal. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Tigharry?

They work well for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and bite correction. Cases needing large vertical movements or with significant skeletal discrepancy usually do better with fixed appliances.

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 Tigharry. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
