How Aligner Treatment Works in Tre'r-ddôl

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

Review appointments in Tre'r-ddôl are typically every 7–11 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.
