Clear Aligner Braces

If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but want to avoid fixed metal braces, clear aligners offer a more flexible and subtle solution. They use a series of custom-made, near-invisible trays to gradually move your teeth into position.

Because they are removable, they fit easily around your daily routine, allowing you to eat, drink, and maintain your usual oral hygiene without disruption. Clear aligners are most commonly used to treat mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and alignment issues.

How Clear Aligners Work

Your treatment is planned and monitored by our experienced dental team at our Glasgow, West End clinic, ensuring each stage is carefully guided and adjusted where needed. We begin with a digital scan of your teeth, with no traditional impressions required. This allows us to map your current position and plan how your teeth will move over time.

From there, your treatment follows a series of steps:

• A set of custom-made aligners is created, each one slightly different from the last
• Each aligner is designed to move your teeth in small, controlled stages
• You wear each set for around two weeks before moving to the next

Before & After examples for the Clear Aligner Treatment

For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. You’ll attend regular check-ups at our Glasgow clinic so we can monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure everything is moving as planned.

Most adult cases are completed within 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of your treatment and how consistently the aligners are worn.

Our Treatment Process in Glasgow

Clear Aligner™ is designed to be as straightforward and manageable as possible. You may feel slight pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, which is a normal sign that your teeth are moving. This usually settles within a few days.

Because aligners are removable, you will need to take them out when eating or drinking anything other than water, and clean them regularly before placing them back in. Consistency is important. Wearing your aligners as advised is key to achieving the best possible result within the expected timeframe.

Why Patients Choose Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a popular choice for adults looking for a more discreet and convenient way to straighten their teeth, without the impact of traditional braces on daily life.

• Discreet appearance – aligners are clear and difficult to notice in everyday situations
• Removable – you can take them out to eat, drink, and brush as normal
• Comfortable – smooth plastic with no metal brackets or wires
• Predictable results – you can see a digital preview of your expected outcome before starting treatment

For many patients, the flexibility and subtle appearance make it easier to commit to treatment and stay consistent throughout.
