Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
In Laigh Park the first move is an assessment, remote or in person — photos give an early read on suitability before you spend anything, while an in-person exam adds X-rays, a bite and gum check and a scan, settling both whether aligners fit and how complex the case is.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Once aligners look right for the case, a digital plan follows — your scan becomes a 3D model, every tray's movement gets mapped out, and you're usually shown a simulated end result before manufacture starts, which is the point to ask questions.
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 Laigh Park 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
When the series and any refinements are done, attachments are removed and polished off, and retainers go in the same day — usually a bonded wire behind the front teeth plus removable clear retainers for nights. Retention is lifelong: wearing them as prescribed is the only way to hold the result.
