How Aligner Treatment Works in Pelhamfield

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 Pelhamfield are typically every 7–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

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