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.

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 Ty'n-y-bryn are typically every 7–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
