Clear Aligner Treatment
Clear aligner treatment turns everything you know about braces on its head; it is an advanced orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using multiple sets of near-invisible aligners.
If the thought of visible wires or food stuck in brackets has been putting you off fixing your dental imperfections, this hassle-free alternative could be just the thing for you.
How does it work?
At your free consultation, we’ll use our digital scanner to create a 3D simulation of what your teeth could look like post-treatment – if you’re happy with this, we will order your aligners and begin treatment.
​
We will fit your custom-made trays, and then the rest is up to you! Clear aligner treatment requires much fewer check-in appointments than traditional, fixed braces, although we will need to see you now and again to check that everything is going as planned. Each set of aligners needs to be worn for at least 22 hours per day, and you will change them every 1-2 weeks – as you do so, your teeth will gradually move to the desired position, as outlined in your treatment plan.

What is preventative dentistry?Preventative dentistry refers to the practices and procedures aimed at preventing dental problems before they occur or worsen. The goal of preventative dentistry is to maintain good oral health, prevent tooth decay and gum disease, and avoid the need for more invasive and costly dental treatments. Examples of preventative dentistry include regular dental checkups and cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and oral hygiene education. Through these practices, preventative dentistry helps to promote healthy teeth and gums and reduce the risk of dental problems in the future. Preventative dentistry is important for people of all ages, and it is especially crucial for children as they develop their permanent teeth. By establishing good oral hygiene habits early on and receiving regular preventative dental care, children can avoid many common dental problems and maintain good oral health throughout their lives.
