The Clear Aligner Process Explained
It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.
Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.
Review appointments in Kittybrewster are typically every 7–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.
On cost, aligners in Kittybrewster are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
