Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Facit who don't want visible metal. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Facit
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.
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 Facit are typically every 7–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
