How Aligner Treatment Works in Aber Cowarch

Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Aber Cowarch are typically every 7–12 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Aber Cowarch. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
