How Aligner Treatment Works in Earlsfield
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.
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 Earlsfield are typically every 7–11 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.

On cost, aligners in Earlsfield are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
