Clear aligners for straighter teeth

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of transparent, custom-made trays that fit snugly over your teeth and gradually shift them into better alignment. Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, they are practically invisible, which makes them popular with adults and teenagers who want discreet treatment.

Benefits of clear aligners

• Discreet: nearly invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without drawing attention
• Comfortable: smooth plastic is much less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks than braces
• Removable: take them out to eat, drink, brush and floss, which makes oral hygiene easier
• Fewer visits: treatment usually needs fewer appointments than traditional braces

How clear aligners work

1. Consultation: we take digital impressions or 3D scans of your teeth and create a personalised treatment plan
2. Custom aligners: a series of aligners is designed to move your teeth into place step by step
3. Wearing your aligners: you wear each set for 20 to 22 hours a day, moving to the next set every one to two weeks
4. Monitoring progress: regular check-ups make sure treatment stays on track
5. Your new smile: at the end of treatment you have a straighter, more confident smile

Are clear aligners right for you?

Clear aligners work well for mild to moderate problems such as:

• Crooked or crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Minor bite problems such as an overbite or underbite

For more complex cases, traditional braces may still be the better choice. We will assess your teeth and recommend the best option.

Keeping your results

Once treatment is finished you'll wear a retainer, usually at night, to stop your teeth moving back. We'll show you how to look after it.
