Clear aligner treatment follows a structured sequence from first assessment to long-term retention. For Fenchurch Street patients, it makes comparing what different providers include much easier. Below, we walk through every phase from first scan to final retainer check.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
Everything starts with an assessment in Fenchurch Street: either an online photo review for an early steer, or a full clinical exam with X-rays, a bite and gum check, and a digital scan. The outcome is a clear answer on whether aligners suit you and at what level of complexity.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Next comes the digital plan: a 3D model from your scan is used to choreograph each tray's movement, typically with a simulated end result you can preview. This is your chance to interrogate the plan before anything is manufactured.
Stage 3 — Manufacture and Delivery
Once you approve the plan, the trays are made and delivered — usually 3–6 weeks. At fitting, attachments (small tooth-coloured bumps) are bonded where extra grip is needed and your first trays go in. You leave with instructions on wear time, when to switch trays, and how to clean them.
Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews
You then wear each tray in turn for the prescribed period. Reviews in Fenchurch Street fall roughly every 6–12 weeks, where the clinician checks tracking, manages any teeth not moving to plan, and may re-scan. Active treatment runs from about 3 months for mild cases to 18+ months for comprehensive ones.
Stage 5 — Refinements
Don't be surprised by a refinement round — most cases need one. A new scan and revised plan produce a short additional tray series to finish what the first series didn't quite complete; comprehensive fees usually include this, but it's worth confirming.
Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers
When the series and any refinements are done, attachments are removed and polished off, and retainers go in the same day — usually a bonded wire behind the front teeth plus removable clear retainers for nights. Retention is lifelong: wearing them as prescribed is the only way to hold the result.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Fenchurch Street
Mild-to-moderate crowding or spacing is often suitable for clear aligners, while more complex cases are more commonly recommended fixed braces. Treatment duration for suitable cases ranges from 3 months for mild presentations to 18+ months for comprehensive full-arch treatment. A photo assessment is a practical first step to get an early indication of suitability, likely treatment duration, and case complexity before attending any in-person consultation.
