Clear Aligners - specialist orthodontic care.
At Trust Dentistry, we offer advanced clear-aligner treatment systems that are virtually invisible yet highly effective. Rather than traditional metal braces, clear aligners give you flexibility, aesthetics, and comfort — aligning with our holistic, patient-centred care ethos. (Trust Dentistry emphasises holistic & aesthetic integration in its model)
What we correct
Orthodontic treatment is about much more than just a straighter smile. Misaligned teeth and jaws can lead to functional issues such as difficulty chewing, excessive tooth wear, speech challenges, and even headaches or jaw pain. Crowded or gapped teeth are also harder to keep clean, raising the risk of decay and gum disease. By correcting these problems, we not only create confident smiles but also support long-term oral and overall health. Ultimately, orthodontics protects teeth, balances bite forces, and enhances facial harmony — helping patients feel better, function better, and smile more freely.
Crooked or crowded teeth
When teeth don’t have enough space in the jaw, they overlap, twist, or push each other out of alignment. This not only affects appearance but also makes brushing and flossing difficult, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment gently repositions the teeth, creating balance and improving oral health.
Gaps and spacing issues
Excess spacing between teeth can be due to missing teeth, undersized teeth, or jaw size differences. While some may view gaps as a cosmetic concern, they can also lead to shifting, bite imbalance, or gum problems. Orthodontics helps close spaces or redistribute them appropriately for long-term stability.
Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
Bite discrepancies happen when the upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly. An overbite occurs when the top teeth sit too far forward, while an underbite means the lower jaw extends past the upper. A crossbite happens when some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. Correcting these improves chewing function, jaw balance, and aesthetics.
Open bite or deep bite
An open bite means the front teeth don’t touch when the back teeth are together, often caused by habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. A deep bite is when the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, sometimes damaging gums and teeth. Orthodontic care addresses both, improving function, appearance, and long-term dental health.
Jaw deviations requiring orthodontic anchorage
In some cases, the issue lies in jaw growth rather than tooth position alone. Deviations in jaw alignment can cause facial asymmetry, speech problems, and bite imbalance. Using orthodontic anchorage devices, braces, or in some cases surgical collaboration, we can guide jaws into more harmonious positions for improved function and aesthetics.
Benefits / What patients gain
Nearly invisible — ideal for professionals, adults, and teens
Clear aligners are made from transparent material, making them virtually invisible when worn. This means you can go about your daily life — whether at work, school, or social events — with confidence, knowing your treatment is discreet and doesn’t draw attention.
Comfortable (no sharp wires or brackets)
With smooth plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth, clear aligners avoid the irritation often caused by brackets and wires. Most patients find them far more comfortable, with only mild pressure as the teeth gradually move into position.
Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
Unlike fixed braces, clear aligners can be taken out whenever you need to eat, brush, or floss. This gives you complete freedom with your diet, makes oral hygiene easier to maintain, and reduces the risk of plaque build-up or staining during treatment.
Predictable results: digital planning ensures you see the outcome before you start
Every aligner treatment begins with advanced 3D digital planning, allowing you to preview your future smile before treatment even starts. This technology gives both you and your dentist confidence in the process, with a clear picture of how your teeth will move and what the final results will look like.
How it works (process)
Consultation & assessment — 3D scans, photographs, bite records
Digital treatment plan — simulation of tooth movement
Delivery of aligners — sequential trays you change every ~1–2 weeks
Check-ups & refinements — periodic monitoring, adjustments as needed
Retention phase — after active treatment, retainers to stabilise the result
