Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

How Clear Aligners Work
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Enton model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
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 Enton 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.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Enton?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Enton. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

Clear aligner process — Enton patient guide
Clear aligner treatment follows a structured sequence from first assessment to long-term retention. In Enton, it's the difference between choosing on price and choosing on value. A photo assessment is a practical first step before any of this begins.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Enton usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam. Remotely, you get an early read on suitability and complexity before paying for anything; in person, the clinician takes X-rays, checks bite, jaw and gums, and scans or photographs your teeth. This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
