Invisible Aligners Available in Lillies Green

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces.

The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

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 Lillies Green are typically every 6–11 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.
