Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. In Rossinish, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Rossinish
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 Rossinish are typically every 8–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
