Could this help?

Could clear aligners help with my concern?

Clear aligners may gradually move suitable teeth using a planned series of removable trays. An assessment is needed to confirm whether they can achieve the movements your bite requires.

You may wish to discuss

  • Teeth are crowded, overlapping or difficult to clean
  • There are spaces or gaps between teeth
  • You have a selected overbite, underbite or crossbite concern
  • Teeth have moved after previous orthodontic treatment
  • You would prefer a less visible, removable alternative to braces
  • You can commit to wearing and caring for the aligners as directed

Clear aligners or braces?

Our practice offers Invisalign, Spark and Angel Aligners. The recommended system depends on diagnosis, the movements required, bite, oral health and individual treatment needs.

  • Clear aligners — removable trays that can be taken out for eating, drinking and oral hygiene
  • Consistent wear — treatment depends on wearing each aligner for the prescribed time and attending reviews
  • Attachments and refinements — small tooth-coloured attachments or additional aligners may sometimes be required
  • Braces or combined care — more complex movements may be better managed with fixed braces or another pathway

Personalised care

Choose the right approach for the movement required.

Aligners are discreet and removable, while braces are fixed and can provide controlled movement for a wide range of concerns. Neither option is best for everyone.

Wear, reviews, refinements and retainers

Clear aligner treatment requires consistent daily wear and regular progress reviews. Your clinician will explain when to change aligners and how to clean and store them.

  • Attend reviews so tooth movement and aligner fit can be checked
  • Use additional refinement aligners where clinically required
  • Contact the practice if an aligner is lost, damaged or no longer fits
  • Wear retainers after active treatment to help maintain tooth positions

Common questions

Questions about clear aligner therapy.

Clear information is part of good care. These answers are a starting point for your conversation.

Am I suitable for clear aligners?

Suitability depends on your teeth, gums, bite, required movements and ability to wear the aligners consistently. An assessment can determine whether aligners, braces or another pathway is more appropriate.

How many hours a day must clear aligners be worn?

Aligners must be worn consistently according to your personalised instructions. Your clinician will explain the daily wear schedule, when to change trays and when they may be removed.

Can clear aligners treat every orthodontic problem?

No. Some complex tooth movements or bite concerns may be better managed with braces, another appliance or combined treatment. We explain the suitable options after assessment.

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

Duration varies with the movements required, bite complexity, individual response, consistent wear and whether refinements are needed. A personalised estimate is provided after planning.

How much do clear aligners cost?

Fees depend on the complexity, aligner system and expected treatment requirements. We provide a personalised plan and costs after assessment and can discuss available payment-plan options.

Will I need retainers after clear aligners?

Yes, retainers are normally required after active treatment to help maintain tooth positions. We explain the type, wear schedule, review and replacement needs before treatment begins.
