Clear aligner process — Bradwell patient guide

The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. For Bradwell patients, it makes comparing what different providers include much easier. Each stage below has its own timeline and clinical requirements.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

In Bradwell the first move is an assessment, remote or in person — photos give an early read on suitability before you spend anything, while an in-person exam adds X-rays, a bite and gum check and a scan, settling both whether aligners fit and how complex the case is.

Adult Braces & Aligners in Bradwell

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Discreet options and monthly payment plans have made adult treatment far more accessible. A photo assessment is an easy way to see which adult option suits your case.

Why Adults Need a Gum Check First

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Bradwell orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
