Clear aligners in Newport: Angel Aligners and ClearCorrect
Clear aligners are removable trays that move teeth in planned stages. Angel Aligners and ClearCorrect are available at Newport Family Dentist. Suitability depends on your teeth, gums, bite and the movement required.
An examination and treatment plan help explain what aligners can and cannot change, likely duration, risks and costs. Your dentist plans treatment for your teeth and reviews it regularly.
How does clear aligner treatment work?
Your dentist examines your teeth and gums and plans treatment using an intraoral scan and other records. A series of custom clear aligners moves teeth in stages. The clear aligners can be hard to notice when you wear them.
Follow your dentist’s prescribed daily wear and tray-change schedule. Remove aligners for eating, drinks other than water, brushing and flossing. At reviews, your dentist checks progress and can adjust the plan if needed.
Your dentist will explain what changes are achievable and discuss retainers to help maintain tooth position after treatment. Results and duration vary.
