For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Among Twyn Wenallt 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. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.
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 Twyn Wenallt — Local Context
Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with fixed braces.
