Aligners or Braces in Tutnalls?

The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.

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 Tutnalls?

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.
