Understanding the clear aligner process from start to finish removes most of the guesswork. Across Pomeroy, an informed patient asks better questions at every consultation. The steps that follow run from initial assessment through to lifelong retention.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Pomeroy usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam. Remotely, you get an early read on suitability and complexity before paying for anything; in person, the clinician takes X-rays, checks bite, jaw and gums, and scans or photographs your teeth. This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Next comes the digital plan: a 3D model from your scan is used to choreograph each tray's movement, typically with a simulated end result you can preview. This is your chance to interrogate the plan before anything is manufactured.
Stage 3 — Manufacture and Delivery
After approval, manufacturing takes a few weeks. The fitting appointment bonds any attachments and seats your first aligners, along with guidance on the 20–22 hour wear target, the switch schedule, and cleaning.
Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews
You then wear each tray in turn for the prescribed period. Reviews in Pomeroy 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
At the finish, the attachments come off and retainers are fitted immediately — typically a fixed wire and a night-time clear retainer. From here retention never really ends; consistent wear is what stops the teeth drifting back.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Pomeroy
Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with fixed braces. 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.
