Discreet Teeth Straightening in Turkdean

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Turkdean 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. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
