The Clear Aligner Process Explained

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 Farforth 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.
