Why choose clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern way to straighten teeth without the appearance or restrictions of traditional braces. Each set of aligners is digitally designed to guide your teeth into position through gentle, controlled pressure.

‍

With specialist orthodontic oversight, your treatment is carefully planned to deliver safe, predictable results. Every movement is reviewed by Dr Maha, a GDC-registered Specialist Orthodontist with more than a decade of hospital-based training and advanced experience in all orthodontic systems.

‍

Choosing a specialist means your plan is built for long-term health and stability, not just short-term aesthetics.

"After more than a decade in UK teaching hospitals, my work continues to be guided by the same principles that shaped me as a clinician: precision, planning and genuine patient Partnership. My focus is on doing orthodontics properly, with depth, detail and care."

Invisalign® and Angel Aligners - specialist-led options

Both systems offer discreet, removable aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth.

‍

Invisalign® is the original clear aligner system, renowned for precision, comfort and advanced digital planning.
Angel Aligners provide a high-quality, cost-effective alternative, offering smooth transitions and excellent control in most mild to moderate cases.

Whichever system is chosen, your treatment will always be personally overseen by Dr Maha, who will recommend the most suitable approach for your bite, goals and lifestyle.

What clear aligners can correct

Clear aligners can be used to improve both the appearance and function of your smile. They are suitable for a wide range of cases, including:

‍

Gaps between teeth
Crowding or overlapping
Overbite, underbite or crossbite
General misalignment affecting bite or aesthetics

‍

For more complex cases, Dr Maha may recommend a hybrid plan or specialist appliances, ensuring every patient receives a solution that is right for them.

‍

Because your treatment is specialist-planned, every stage is mapped out digitally - ensuring precision, comfort and control from your first scan to your final retainer.

Your clear aligner questions answered

Why choose a specialist for clear aligners?

Choosing a Specialist Orthodontist means your treatment is guided by years of formal training and experience focused solely on tooth movement. Dr Maha doesn’t rely on software to make decisions - she plans each case herself, ensuring every adjustment is safe, stable and designed for your long-term dental health.

How long does treatment usually take?

Treatment time varies depending on how much movement is needed. Most cases take between 6 and 18 months. Dr Maha will give you a clear timeline after your assessment, with regular reviews to make sure your progress stays exactly on track.

Are clear aligners suitable for teens and adults?

Yes. Clear aligners can work brilliantly for both adults and teenagers. For younger patients, Dr Maha uses specific protocols to manage growth and compliance, ensuring results are not only straight but functionally sound.

Will they affect my speech?

Some patients notice a slight change for the first few days, but this quickly fades as your tongue adapts. Aligners are thin and smooth, designed to fit closely to your teeth for maximum comfort.

How often do I need check-ups?

Regular reviews are arranged based on your case, typically every 6-8 weeks. If you are using Dental Monitoring at Clearly Orthodontics, you can reduce the number of in-person visits without compromising quality or progress.

What happens after treatment?

After your treatment is complete, retainers are fitted to maintain your results. You will also receive professional whitening (for eligible cases) and clear aftercare instructions to keep your smile stable for years to come.
