Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Plenty of patients across Blue Bridge choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
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.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Blue Bridge are typically every 6–12 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.
