Clear aligner treatment follows a structured sequence from first assessment to long-term retention. Across Beragh, an informed patient asks better questions at every consultation. Below, we walk through every phase from first scan to final retainer check.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

Everything starts with an assessment in Beragh: either an online photo review for an early steer, or a full clinical exam with X-rays, a bite and gum check, and a digital scan. The outcome is a clear answer on whether aligners suit you and at what level of complexity.

Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning

Next comes the digital plan: a 3D model from your scan is used to choreograph each tray's movement, typically with a simulated end result you can preview. This is your chance to interrogate the plan before anything is manufactured.

Stage 3 — Manufacture and Delivery

After approval, manufacturing takes a few weeks. The fitting appointment bonds any attachments and seats your first aligners, along with guidance on the 20–22 hour wear target, the switch schedule, and cleaning.

Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews

Active treatment is the sequence of trays, each worn its allotted time. Every 6–12 weeks a review in Beragh confirms the teeth are tracking, catches any lag, and may take progress scans — the whole phase lasting anywhere from 3 to 18-plus months.

Stage 5 — Refinements

Refinements are extra trays made after the first series to finish movements it didn't fully achieve. They're common — expect at least one round. A fresh scan drives a revised plan and a short new tray series. They're included in comprehensive fees, so confirm the refinement policy before you start.

Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers

At the finish, the attachments come off and retainers are fitted immediately — typically a fixed wire and a night-time clear retainer. From here retention never really ends; consistent wear is what stops the teeth drifting back.

Aligner Treatment Timeline in Beragh

Case complexity — not just preference — is usually what determines whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended. Treatment duration for suitable cases ranges from 3 months for mild presentations to 18+ months for comprehensive full-arch treatment. A photo assessment is a practical first step to get an early indication of suitability, likely treatment duration, and case complexity before attending any in-person consultation.
