Clear aligner treatment follows a structured sequence from first assessment to long-term retention. It helps patients in Finegand compare providers, set realistic expectations, and avoid surprises. A photo assessment is a practical first step before any of this begins.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
In Finegand the first move is an assessment, remote or in person — photos give an early read on suitability before you spend anything, while an in-person exam adds X-rays, a bite and gum check and a scan, settling both whether aligners fit and how complex the case is.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Once aligners look right for the case, a digital plan follows — your scan becomes a 3D model, every tray's movement gets mapped out, and you're usually shown a simulated end result before manufacture starts, which is the point to ask questions.
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 Finegand 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
Once the tray series and any refinements wrap up, attachments come off and retainers go in that same day — a bonded wire plus a clear tray for nights being the usual combination. Retention isn't a phase that ends; it's the ongoing wear that keeps the result in place.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Finegand
Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with 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.
