They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.

How Aligner Treatment Works in New Boultham

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.

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 New Boultham are typically every 8–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Take an aligner out and there's nothing you can't eat — that alone removes the biggest daily friction fixed braces create.

The trade-off is discipline: trays only work if they go back in promptly and stay in for the hours the plan needs.
