Removable Clear Aligners in Square

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Among Square patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.

Aligners or Braces in Square?

The Clear Aligner Process Explained

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.

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 Square are typically every 8–11 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.

Living With Each Option in Square

Take an aligner out and there's nothing you can't eat — that alone removes the biggest daily friction fixed braces create. Cleaning is easier too, since a tray comes off before brushing and flossing rather than working around brackets and wires. The trade-off is discipline: trays only work if they go back in promptly and stay in for the hours the plan needs.
