The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. Across Stubbings, an informed patient asks better questions at every consultation. Below, we walk through every phase from first scan to final retainer check.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
Everything starts with an assessment in Stubbings: either an online photo review for an early steer, or a full clinical exam with X-rays, a bite and gum check, and a digital scan. The outcome is a clear answer on whether aligners suit you and at what level of complexity.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Next comes the digital plan: a 3D model from your scan is used to choreograph each tray's movement, typically with a simulated end result you can preview. This is your chance to interrogate the plan before anything is manufactured.
Stage 3 — Manufacture and Delivery
After approval, manufacturing takes a few weeks. The fitting appointment bonds any attachments and seats your first aligners, along with guidance on the 20–22 hour wear target, the switch schedule, and cleaning.
Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews
Active treatment is the sequence of trays, each worn its allotted time. Every 6–12 weeks a review in Stubbings confirms the teeth are tracking, catches any lag, and may take progress scans — the whole phase lasting anywhere from 3 to 18-plus months.
Stage 5 — Refinements
Refinements are extra trays made after the first series to finish movements it didn't fully achieve. They're common — expect at least one round. A fresh scan drives a revised plan and a short new tray series. They're included in comprehensive fees, so confirm the refinement policy before you start.
Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers
At the finish, the attachments come off and retainers are fitted immediately — typically a fixed wire and a night-time clear retainer. From here retention never really ends; consistent wear is what stops the teeth drifting back.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Stubbings
Mild-to-moderate crowding or spacing is often suitable for clear aligners, while more complex cases are more commonly recommended fixed braces. Treatment duration for suitable cases ranges from 3 months for mild presentations to 18+ months for comprehensive full-arch treatment. A photo assessment is a practical first step to get an early indication of suitability, likely treatment duration, and case complexity before attending any in-person consultation.
