How Aligner Treatment Works in Fenny Bridges

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Fenny Bridges 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.
