The Clear Aligner Process Explained

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Egham Hythe 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 Egham Hythe are typically every 7–12 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.

Living With Each Option in Egham Hythe

Take an aligner out and there's nothing you can't eat — that alone removes the biggest daily friction fixed braces create.

The trade-off is discipline: trays only work if they go back in promptly and stay in for the hours the plan needs.
