How Clear Aligners Work

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Sempringham model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.

Review appointments in Sempringham 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.
