Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Scurlage who don't want visible metal. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Scurlage
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Scurlage 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 Scurlage are typically every 7–12 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
