The Clear Aligner Process Explained

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.

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 Nether Whitacre are typically every 7–12 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Teeth Straightening for Adults in Nether Whitacre

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. The main difference for adults is a pre-treatment gum assessment and, sometimes, a slightly longer timeline.
