Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Among Clady patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Clady
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.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Clady are typically every 8–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Clear aligner process — Clady patient guide
The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. For Clady patients, it makes comparing what different providers include much easier. A photo assessment is a practical first step before any of this begins.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
In Clady 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.
