The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. For Frenze patients, it makes comparing what different providers include much easier. The steps that follow run from initial assessment through to lifelong retention.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Frenze usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam. Remotely, you get an early read on suitability and complexity before paying for anything; in person, the clinician takes X-rays, checks bite, jaw and gums, and scans or photographs your teeth. This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
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
Approve the plan and manufacture starts — typically 3-6 weeks. Fitting bonds any attachments the plan needs and gets your first trays in, along with clear guidance on wear hours, when to move to the next tray, and how to keep them clean.
Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews
You then wear each tray in turn for the prescribed period. Reviews in Frenze 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
Most cases need a refinement stage: a new scan, a revised plan and a short additional tray series to perfect the result. Because policies differ, check whether refinements are included before committing.
Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers
At the finish, the attachments come off and retainers are fitted immediately — typically a fixed wire and a night-time clear retainer. From here retention never really ends; consistent wear is what stops the teeth drifting back.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Frenze
Whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended usually comes down to case complexity rather than personal preference alone. 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.
