Clear aligners are a modern, low-profile alternative to traditional braces, ideal for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look or feel of metal brackets. At East Neuk Dental Practice, we offer custom-made clear aligners that gradually and gently move your teeth into a better position.
Removable, virtually invisible, and easy to fit around your lifestyle, clear aligners give you the freedom to smile throughout your treatment, not just at the end of it. Our experienced team will guide you every step of the way, with a treatment plan tailored to your smile goals.
Clear aligners have become one of the most popular orthodontic options and it’s easy to see why. Designed for comfort and convenience, they offer a modern alternative to fixed metal braces with a more flexible approach to teeth straightening.
Whether you’re preparing for a big event or simply want a more confident smile, clear aligners make the journey easier, more discreet, and more in-tune with your everyday life.

Clear aligners work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth at a specific stage of the journey and as you change to a new set every one to two weeks, your teeth continue to shift step by step.
Using advanced 3D scans and digital planning, we map out your entire treatment before you begin. This ensures a precise, predictable result and allows you to see what your new smile could look like before you even start.
We start with a friendly, in-depth consultation to understand your goals and assess your teeth. If clear aligners are suitable, we’ll explain your options and answer any questions you have.
Using our advanced 3D scanning technology, we take a precise digital model of your teeth. This allows us to plan your treatment in detail and show you a preview of how your new smile could look.
Your aligners are custom-made to fit snugly and comfortably. Each set is slightly different to gradually guide your teeth into the right position.
You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Most patients change to a new set every 1–2 weeks as directed.
We’ll invite you back for short check-ups to monitor your progress, answer any questions, and ensure everything’s on track.
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll fit you with a discreet retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. We’ll also talk you through how to care for your new smile long-term.
