A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Moneydig, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Clear Aligners Work
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 Moneydig are typically every 7–12 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.

A photo assessment is a practical first step to get an early indication of suitability, likely treatment duration, and case complexity before attending any in-person consultation.
Clear aligners vs braces in Moneydig
The right answer usually comes from the case itself, not from lifestyle preference alone. In Moneydig, discretion and convenience favour aligners; complex mechanics favour braces. Below we compare suitability, lifestyle and cost so you can weigh them properly.
Living With Each Option in Moneydig
Take an aligner out and there's nothing you can't eat — that alone removes the biggest daily friction fixed braces create. Cleaning is easier too, since a tray comes off before brushing and flossing rather than working around brackets and wires. The trade-off is discipline: trays only work if they go back in promptly and stay in for the hours the plan needs.
