A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.

How Clear Aligners Work
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Rushy Green model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
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.
Review appointments in Rushy Green are typically every 6–11 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.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Rushy Green
Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.
For complex movements — large rotations, significant overbite correction, extraction cases — fixed braces tend to be more predictable. For mild-to-moderate cases, well-fitted aligners deliver comparable results with more comfort.

In Rushy Green 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.
