How Aligner Treatment Works in Brickbridge

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Brickbridge model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Brickbridge are typically every 8–12 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.

How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?

The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.

Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Brickbridge, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
