How Aligner Treatment Works in Mynachlogddu
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.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Mynachlogddu are typically every 7–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Mynachlogddu usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam.

This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
