Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.

How Clear Aligners Work
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Tyler Hill model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
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 Tyler Hill 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.
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.
On cost, aligners in Tyler Hill are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
