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 Mount End are typically every 7–11 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.

Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Mount End

The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.

Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Mount End, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

A significant proportion of orthodontic patients in Mount End are adults. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. A gum-health check, realistic expectations and the right treatment choice are what determine success.

Gum Health Before Adult Orthodontic Treatment
