A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Fewcott patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Clear Aligners Work
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.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Fewcott are typically every 8–10 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
