The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. In Clive Green, it's the difference between choosing on price and choosing on value. A photo assessment is a practical first step before any of this begins.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Clive Green usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam. Remotely, you get an early read on suitability and complexity before paying for anything; in person, the clinician takes X-rays, checks bite, jaw and gums, and scans or photographs your teeth. This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
If aligners are recommended, the clinician builds a digital plan in software like ClinCheck. A scan or impression produces a 3D model, and every stage of movement is mapped across the tray series. You usually see a before-and-after simulation up front — the moment to ask questions and understand exactly what's planned.
Stage 3 — Manufacture and Delivery
After approval, manufacturing takes a few weeks. The fitting appointment bonds any attachments and seats your first aligners, along with guidance on the 20–22 hour wear target, the switch schedule, and cleaning.
Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews
From here it's tray after tray, each worn for its set period, with reviews in Clive Green roughly every 6-12 weeks to confirm tracking and catch anything not moving to plan. The whole active phase runs anywhere from 3 months to 18-plus depending on complexity.
Stage 5 — Refinements
Refinements are extra trays made after the first series to finish movements it didn't fully achieve. They're common — expect at least one round. A fresh scan drives a revised plan and a short new tray series. They're included in comprehensive fees, so confirm the refinement policy before you start.
Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers
When the series and any refinements are done, attachments are removed and polished off, and retainers go in the same day — usually a bonded wire behind the front teeth plus removable clear retainers for nights. Retention is lifelong: wearing them as prescribed is the only way to hold the result.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Clive Green
Case complexity — not just preference — is usually what determines whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended. 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.
