Understanding the clear aligner process from start to finish removes most of the guesswork. Across Westwood Gardens, an informed patient asks better questions at every consultation. Each stage below has its own timeline and clinical requirements.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
Everything starts with an assessment in Westwood Gardens: either an online photo review for an early steer, or a full clinical exam with X-rays, a bite and gum check, and a digital scan. The outcome is a clear answer on whether aligners suit you and at what level of complexity.
Stage 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
If aligners are recommended, the clinician builds a digital plan in software like ClinCheck. A scan or impression produces a 3D model, and every stage of movement is mapped across the tray series. You usually see a before-and-after simulation up front — the moment to ask questions and understand exactly what's planned.
Stage 3 — Manufacture and Delivery
After approval, manufacturing takes a few weeks. The fitting appointment bonds any attachments and seats your first aligners, along with guidance on the 20–22 hour wear target, the switch schedule, and cleaning.
Stage 4 — Active Treatment and Reviews
From here it's tray after tray, each worn for its set period, with reviews in Westwood Gardens roughly every 6-12 weeks to confirm tracking and catch anything not moving to plan. The whole active phase runs anywhere from 3 months to 18-plus depending on complexity.
Stage 5 — Refinements
Most cases need a refinement stage: a new scan, a revised plan and a short additional tray series to perfect the result. Because policies differ, check whether refinements are included before committing.
Stage 6 — De-bond and Retainers
At the finish, the attachments come off and retainers are fitted immediately — typically a fixed wire and a night-time clear retainer. From here retention never really ends; consistent wear is what stops the teeth drifting back.
Aligner Treatment Timeline in Westwood Gardens
Whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended usually comes down to case complexity rather than personal preference alone. Treatment duration for suitable cases ranges from 3 months for mild presentations to 18+ months for comprehensive full-arch treatment. A photo assessment is a practical first step to get an early indication of suitability, likely treatment duration, and case complexity before attending any in-person consultation.
