How Aligner Treatment Works in Notting Hill

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 Notting Hill are typically every 8–12 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.

On cost, aligners in Notting Hill are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
