How Aligner Treatment Works in Crostwright
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Crostwright model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
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 Crostwright are typically every 8–10 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.
