For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Among Yazor patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
The Clear Aligner Process Explained
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.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Yazor are typically every 6–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Aligners or Braces in Yazor?
The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.
On cost, aligners in Yazor are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
Adult Braces & Aligners in Yazor
A significant proportion of orthodontic patients in Yazor are adults. Discreet options and monthly payment plans have made adult treatment far more accessible. A photo assessment is an easy way to see which adult option suits your case.
Why Adults Need a Gum Check First
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 Yazor.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
