A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Upper Marham choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Upper Marham?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Upper Marham. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
