For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Among Knightsbridge and Belgravia patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
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.
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 Knightsbridge and Belgravia are typically every 7–10 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
