How Clear Aligners Work

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.

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 Canon's Marsh are typically every 6–10 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.

Which is better — aligners or braces in Canon's Marsh?

Which option is more appropriate depends primarily on the tooth movements your case needs. In Canon's Marsh, discretion and convenience favour aligners; complex mechanics favour braces. A photo assessment is a quick way to see which direction your case is likely to go.
