Why Choose Aligners
Discreet Appearance
Aligners are almost invisible to the eye, making them a great choice for patients. Just simply where your clear aligner trays and see the magic happen, without feeling conscious.
Comfort
Since aligners are made from a smooth, custom-moulded plastic, they don’t typically irritate the inside of your mouth like traditional braces. The other great thing about aligners? They can be removed, so you can keep eating and drinking what you like! Although, we highly recommend making sure you maintain a good oral hygiene routine and wear your aligners for as much of the day as possible.
Convenient Check-Ins
Choosing to have your aligners in Christchurch fitted locally is beneficial, since your check-in appointments are just around the corner. We typically want to see our patients every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress, so being local, we’re just around the corner.
If you use the DentalMonitoring app, then even better! You can check-in with us from the comfort of your home.
