The Clear Aligner Process Explained

It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.

Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.

Review appointments in Aldersey Green are typically every 8–10 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
