How Clear Aligners Work

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Deeside 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 Deeside are typically every 8–12 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
