Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Wymington?

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.

Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.

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