MPR Aligners

With MPR Aligner treatment, this is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Opposed to traditional fixed braces, there are no restrictions, brackets or wires.

Treatment times are different for everybody and depend on a number of factors. For instance, how complex your case may be and how compliant you are with wearing your aligners 20-22 hours per day. Your dentist at 78 will be able to determine the length of treatment and how many aligners you will need to complete the course. On average however, most complete treatment between around 12 months though some can finish from just 6 months.

Your dentist will most likely need to see you every 4-6 weeks. These appointments are required so that the doctor can ensure you’re on track and your treatment is progressing as planned.

Your dentist will outline how often you will be required to change to a new aligner and this can of course vary on each individual’s treatment plan. On average, our dentists usually recommend changing aligners between one to two weeks at a time.

An initial consultation with any of our dentists is invaluable and paramount to understanding what outcome you can expect with removable aligner treatment. This is an opportunity to share your treatment goals and the dentist will do their utmost to achieve this for you. In some cases, removable aligner treatment may not be appropriate to guarantee the best results and alternative orthodontic treatment may be advised.

Removable aligner treatment options are available for just your upper or lower teeth. Your dentist will recommend the best course of action for you.

For the best results, you may require small tooth-coloured attachments to your teeth which help serve as handles in supporting the aligners and directing the teeth to their new position. These attachments are barely noticeable and the aligners fit smoothly and securely around them. 

Depending on complexity, some patients do not require attachments and you do require them, these will be outlined to you in advance and will be attached at the start of treatment.

The simple answer is, virtually nothing! As you can see by our comparison chart above, both treatment options provide the same logistics but alter in price.

Removable clear aligners accommodate you and your lifestyle – some may not even notice you’re wearing them! With MPR Aligner teeth straightening treatment, you can enjoy removing them to eat and drink, to brush and floss or simply for special occasions.  Due to the small amount of movement, there will be less pressure on the teeth causing less irritation, pain and discomfort as compared to wearing other forms of orthodontic braces.

Fixed discreet retainers are expertly crafted to keep your teeth in their newly aligned positions without anyone noticing. Made from high-quality materials, our fixed discreet retainers are comfortable, durable, and provide a seamless solution for maintaining your orthodontic progress.

Removable (night-time) retainers are crafted with precision and designed to be worn comfortably while you sleep, allowing your teeth to maintain their alignment without any disruption to your daily activities.

We understand teeth straightening treatments aren’t the cheapest so we have provided an interest free payment plan to help you spread the cost. 

Enclosed within your treatment report following your initial assessment with one of our dentists, we will provide a payment plan option for you. Usually, the practice requires a third to be settled in advance to begin your treatment and the remaining sum can be spread over 9-12 months via direct debit monthly instalments. If you want to alter the plan proposed, you can speak with the business manager, Emma Russell who would be delighted to help you.
