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.

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 Crowborough Warren are typically every 6–12 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.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Crowborough Warren?

Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.

Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Crowborough Warren. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
