How Aligner Treatment Works in Moonzie

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

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Moonzie are typically every 8–10 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.
