Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Plenty of patients across Dalnavert choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Dalnavert
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Dalnavert model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
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 Dalnavert are typically every 7–12 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.
