For many people, the idea of wearing traditional metal braces can be off-putting. Thankfully, modern dentistry offers a discreet and comfortable alternative – clear aligners. At Dream Smiles Dental in Bolton, we provide custom-made clear aligners that gently and effectively straighten your teeth without the need for wires or brackets.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are transparent trays that fit snugly over your teeth. They are designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position by applying gentle, consistent pressure. Every few weeks, you change to a new set of aligners as your treatment progresses.
Because they’re almost invisible, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them – making them an ideal solution for adults and teenagers who want a discreet option.
Why Patients in Bolton Choose Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are quickly becoming one of the most popular orthodontic treatments in the UK. Here’s why:
Discreet – no visible metal, so you can smile confidently throughout treatment.
Removable – take them out to eat, drink, and clean your teeth.
Comfortable – smooth plastic means no irritation from wires or brackets.
Convenient – fewer dental visits compared to traditional braces.
Effective – suitable for correcting mild to moderate misalignment, gaps, and crowding.
