How Clear Aligners Work

Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.

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 Monmouth are typically every 6–12 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.

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.
