━ Clear aligners in Birmingham
Straighter teeth,
discreetly.
Clear aligners are removable plastic trays that move teeth gradually. Our Birmingham team assesses whether your case is suitable and explains the commitment involved.
━ Appearance
Discreet, near-invisible trays

━ Location

A digital plan sets out how your teeth will move. You wear a series of trays, each slightly different, changing them at set intervals while your dentist monitors progress.

Gaps you would like closed
Mild to moderate bite concerns

Scans or impressions are used to plan the movement before treatment starts.
Attachments
Small tooth-coloured shapes may be bonded on to help teeth move predictably.
Review visits
Progress is checked at intervals and the plan adjusted if needed.

━ Questions answered
Clear aligners FAQs.
Straightforward answers to the questions patients in Birmingham ask us most often.
It depends on how much movement is needed. Some cases finish in a few months, others take a year or more. Your dentist gives an estimate after assessment.
Most patients feel pressure or mild tenderness for a day or two after changing to a new tray. This usually settles quickly.
Aligners are clear and generally discreet, though they can be noticed close up, particularly if attachments are used.
Treatment slows and teeth may not follow the plan. Consistent wear is the single biggest factor in a good result.
Yes. Our Erdington practice welcomes patients from across Birmingham, including Sutton Coldfield.
