Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Plenty of patients across Denchworth 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. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Denchworth
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.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Denchworth are typically every 6–11 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.
