Clear Aligners

Book Appointment

Clear aligners are a discreet orthodontic treatment used to gradually straighten teeth and improve alignment. At Dental Atelier, we provide clear aligner systems designed to move teeth in a controlled and comfortable way.

For patients considering clear aligners in Wapping, this treatment offers an alternative to traditional braces, using a series of custom-made transparent trays. These aligners are designed to fit closely over your teeth and are typically removable, allowing you to maintain your usual oral hygiene routine.

How clear aligners work

Clear aligners use a sequence of carefully planned movements to reposition teeth over time. Each set of aligners is worn for a specified period before moving on to the next in the series.

Treatment planning is carried out using digital scans and imaging, allowing your dentist to map the expected tooth movements and monitor progress throughout the process. The gradual nature of the treatment helps achieve controlled and predictable alignment changes.

A discreet way to improve alignment

Clear aligners are designed to be less noticeable than traditional braces, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers seeking a more subtle option.

Because aligners are removable, they can be taken out for eating and cleaning, which can make daily maintenance more convenient. However, they need to be worn consistently as advised to achieve the desired outcome.

Your dentist will guide you on how to wear and care for your aligners throughout your treatment.

    Everyone at Dental Atelier London was friendly and helpful and I was happy with my treatments. I was quite anxious about my treatments (implant and veneer) but the dentists made me feel at ease. They made sure I understood everything and made sure I was happy with everything. The receptionist was also really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend

    I came at Dental Atelier London for just one implant after checking 3 different clinics.. I had an absolutely great experience. I have chosen Dental Atelier London because the specialist goes straight to the point, no one in the clinic is wasting their time about trying to sell you treatment you didn't come for. Even when I had an emergency 2 days before Christmas the specialist did everything to see me at the clinic despite he was on holidays. I live now on the other side of the city but I will keep them for my regular hygiene check. Thank you so much for everything, I can finally now eat normally !
