The Clear Aligner Process Explained

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 Cobholm Island are typically every 6–11 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.

Teeth Straightening for Adults in Cobholm Island

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. A gum-health check, realistic expectations and the right treatment choice are what determine success.

Why Adults Need a Gum Check First

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Cobholm Island orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
