The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. It helps patients in Piece compare providers, set realistic expectations, and avoid surprises. Below, we walk through every phase from first scan to final retainer check.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
In Piece 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
Approve the plan and manufacture starts — typically 3-6 weeks. Fitting bonds any attachments the plan needs and gets your first trays in, along with clear guidance on wear hours, when to move to the next tray, and how to keep them clean.
Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews
You then wear each tray in turn for the prescribed period. Reviews in Piece 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
Don't be surprised by a refinement round — most cases need one. A new scan and revised plan produce a short additional tray series to finish what the first series didn't quite complete; comprehensive fees usually include this, but it's worth confirming.
Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers
Once the tray series and any refinements wrap up, attachments come off and retainers go in that same day — a bonded wire plus a clear tray for nights being the usual combination. Retention isn't a phase that ends; it's the ongoing wear that keeps the result in place.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Piece
Case complexity — not just preference — is usually what determines whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended. 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.

How long must I wear retainers after aligners?
Retainers must be worn indefinitely to maintain your result. The current guidance is: full-time (including days) for the first 3–6 months, then nights only for life. Stopping retainer wear after a few years causes gradual tooth drift. Fixed bonded retainers provide constant retention behind the front teeth without requiring patient compliance.
