Clear aligners and Invisalign in Hounslow: quick answer
Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays designed to move teeth gradually. Invisalign is one clear-aligner system. Whether aligners, fixed braces or another option is appropriate depends on your bite, tooth position, gum health, age and ability to follow the prescribed wear plan.
How long does clear-aligner treatment take?
Treatment time varies with the complexity of movement and how consistently the aligners are worn. Your clinician should explain the expected sequence after examination and records; refinements may sometimes be needed.
What happens after the aligners?
Retainers are normally needed after orthodontic treatment to help maintain the new tooth position. The type and wear schedule are personalised, and long-term retention may be recommended.
- Aligners must be removed and cleaned as instructed.
- Some cases are better managed with fixed braces or a combined approach.
- Benefits, limitations, alternatives, retention and total cost should be explained before treatment.
