For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. In Donagh, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Donagh
Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.
Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.
Review appointments in Donagh 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.
