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 Church Lench 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.

Gum Health Before Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Because gum disease and recession are commoner in adults, a periodontal check is the necessary first step. Straightening teeth through inflamed or receding tissue risks accelerating bone loss, so Church Lench orthodontists will want evidence your gums are healthy before starting.
