Understanding the clear aligner process from start to finish removes most of the guesswork. For Moulton Park patients, it makes comparing what different providers include much easier. A photo assessment is a practical first step before any of this begins.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Moulton Park
Whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended usually comes down to case complexity rather than personal preference alone. Treatment duration for suitable cases ranges from 3 months for mild presentations to 18+ months for comprehensive full-arch treatment. 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.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Moulton Park usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam. Remotely, you get an early read on suitability and complexity before paying for anything; in person, the clinician takes X-rays, checks bite, jaw and gums, and scans or photographs your teeth. This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
If aligners are recommended, the clinician builds a digital plan in software like ClinCheck. A scan or impression produces a 3D model, and every stage of movement is mapped across the tray series. You usually see a before-and-after simulation up front — the moment to ask questions and understand exactly what's planned.
Stage 3 — Manufacture and Delivery
Once you approve the plan, the trays are made and delivered — usually 3–6 weeks. At fitting, attachments (small tooth-coloured bumps) are bonded where extra grip is needed and your first trays go in. You leave with instructions on wear time, when to switch trays, and how to clean them.
Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews
Active treatment is the sequence of trays, each worn its allotted time. Every 6–12 weeks a review in Moulton Park confirms the teeth are tracking, catches any lag, and may take progress scans — the whole phase lasting anywhere from 3 to 18-plus months.
Stage 5 — Refinements
Most cases need a refinement stage: a new scan, a revised plan and a short additional tray series to perfect the result. Because policies differ, check whether refinements are included before committing.
Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers
At the finish, the attachments come off and retainers are fitted immediately — typically a fixed wire and a night-time clear retainer. From here retention never really ends; consistent wear is what stops the teeth drifting back.
