The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. In Bleach Green, it's the difference between choosing on price and choosing on value. The steps that follow run from initial assessment through to lifelong retention.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
Everything starts with an assessment in Bleach Green: 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
If aligners are recommended, the clinician builds a digital plan in software like ClinCheck. A scan or impression produces a 3D model, and every stage of movement is mapped across the tray series. You usually see a before-and-after simulation up front — the moment to ask questions and understand exactly what's planned.
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
From here it's tray after tray, each worn for its set period, with reviews in Bleach Green roughly every 6-12 weeks to confirm tracking and catch anything not moving to plan. The whole active phase runs anywhere from 3 months to 18-plus depending on complexity.
Stage 5 — Refinements
Don't be surprised by a refinement round — most cases need one. A new scan and revised plan produce a short additional tray series to finish what the first series didn't quite complete; comprehensive fees usually include this, but it's worth confirming.
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 Bleach Green
Mild-to-moderate crowding or spacing is often suitable for clear aligners, while more complex cases are more commonly recommended fixed braces. 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.
