For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Among Trearddur Bay patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Trearddur Bay
Both can produce excellent results when matched to the case. Aligners suit disciplined patients who value discretion; braces suit those who'd rather the appliance do the work automatically.
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.
Aligners in Trearddur Bay — Local Context

How Aligner Treatment Works in Trearddur Bay
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Trearddur Bay model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Trearddur Bay are typically every 7–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
