How Clear Aligners Work

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.

The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Rushbrook. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
