For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Walpole Marsh

Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.

Review appointments in Walpole Marsh are typically every 8–11 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
