The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. In Brynteg, it's the difference between choosing on price and choosing on value. The steps that follow run from initial assessment through to lifelong retention.

Aligner Treatment Timeline in Brynteg

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.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

In Brynteg 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.

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

Approve the plan and manufacture starts — typically 3-6 weeks. Fitting bonds any attachments the plan needs and gets your first trays in, along with clear guidance on wear hours, when to move to the next tray, and how to keep them clean.

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 Brynteg 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

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.
