Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Walreddon?
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.
They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Walreddon. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

Adult Braces & Aligners in Walreddon
A significant proportion of orthodontic patients in Walreddon are adults. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. The main difference for adults is a pre-treatment gum assessment and, sometimes, a slightly longer timeline.
Getting Your Gums Ready for Treatment
A gum assessment up front matters more for adults, who often have some periodontal history. Active disease must be settled before treatment — moving teeth through compromised bone can do harm — and a recent healthy-gum check is standard practice across Walreddon.
