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
In Newlands the first move is an assessment, remote or in person — photos give an early read on suitability before you spend anything, while an in-person exam adds X-rays, a bite and gum check and a scan, settling both whether aligners fit and how complex the case is.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Once aligners look right for the case, a digital plan follows — your scan becomes a 3D model, every tray's movement gets mapped out, and you're usually shown a simulated end result before manufacture starts, which is the point to ask questions.
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
You then wear each tray in turn for the prescribed period. Reviews in Newlands fall roughly every 6–12 weeks, where the clinician checks tracking, manages any teeth not moving to plan, and may re-scan. Active treatment runs from about 3 months for mild cases to 18+ months for comprehensive ones.
Stage 5 — Refinements
Refinements are extra trays made after the first series to finish movements it didn't fully achieve. They're common — expect at least one round. A fresh scan drives a revised plan and a short new tray series. They're included in comprehensive fees, so confirm the refinement policy before you start.
Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers
When the series and any refinements are done, attachments are removed and polished off, and retainers go in the same day — usually a bonded wire behind the front teeth plus removable clear retainers for nights. Retention is lifelong: wearing them as prescribed is the only way to hold the result.
