Orthodontics and Clarity™ Aligners in Christchurch
The non-invasive smile makeover
Are you concerned about crooked teeth? Is your smile not as straight as you’d like?
At Purewell Cross Dental we are delighted to offer our patients the very best in clear aligner technology – Clarity™ Aligners are nearly invisible and you will appreciate these durable, stain resistant aligners designed with your comfort in mind.
- Used for aligning (straightening) of teeth.
- Ideal for pre-alignment before veneers.
- A series of clear aligners are used to gently move your teeth into position.
- Discreet appearance — Because the trays are clear, they’re barely noticeable, making aligners popular with adults or anyone wanting less-visible orthodontic treatment.
- Comfort & convenience — Smooth plastic (no sharp wires/brackets) tends to irritate gums/cheeks less than braces.
- Predictable, planned treatment — Digital scans and a step-by-step plan give you a clear roadmap from start to finish.
- Best for mild to moderate issues — Clear aligners (including Clarity) are most effective for mild to moderate misalignments (e.g. small crowding, minor bite issues). They might not be enough for very complex orthodontic problems.
- Compliance is crucial — For aligners to work, you need to wear them most of the time (usually 20–22 hours/day) and follow the schedule of tray changes. Skipping wear can delay or compromise results.
- To get certain teeth movements, small attachments (tooth-coloured bumps) might be needed. And some people require additional “refinement” aligners after the initial series.
