Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Among Four Gotes patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Four Gotes
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Four Gotes 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.
Review appointments in Four Gotes are typically every 6–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
