How Clear Aligners Work

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.

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 Turweston are typically every 7–10 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.

How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?

The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.

Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Turweston, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
