How Clear Aligners Work

It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Torloisk House are typically every 8–10 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.

Adult Braces & Aligners in Torloisk House

Adult patients in Torloisk House increasingly choose treatment later in life. Clear aligners, ceramic and lingual systems let most adults treat their teeth without anyone noticing. A gum-health check, realistic expectations and the right treatment choice are what determine success.

Gum Health Before Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Torloisk House orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
