How Clear Aligners Work

It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.

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 West Camel are typically every 8–11 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.

Aligners vs Fixed Braces in West Camel

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.

For complex movements — large rotations, significant overbite correction, extraction cases — fixed braces tend to be more predictable. For mild-to-moderate cases, well-fitted aligners deliver comparable results with more comfort.
