How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?

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.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Trewassa?

Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.

Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.
