Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Dayhills who don't want visible metal.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Dayhills

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 Dayhills are typically every 6–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
