Clear Aligners in Tredavoe

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Among Tredavoe patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.

How Clear Aligners Work

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.

The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.

Review appointments in Tredavoe are typically every 7–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
