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 Hampton Hill are typically every 7–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Take an aligner out and there's nothing you can't eat — that alone removes the biggest daily friction fixed braces create.

The trade-off is discipline: trays only work if they go back in promptly and stay in for the hours the plan needs.
