The Clear Aligner Process Explained
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.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Watford Park 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.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Watford Park?
They work well for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and bite correction. Cases needing large vertical movements or with significant skeletal discrepancy usually do better with fixed appliances.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Watford Park. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
