How Aligner Treatment Works in Lenzie

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Lenzie model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

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 Lenzie are typically every 7–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
