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 Wimpstone 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.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

Teeth Straightening for Adults in Wimpstone

Adult orthodontics in Wimpstone has grown dramatically over the past decade. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. A gum-health check, realistic expectations and the right treatment choice are what determine success.

Gum Health Before Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Wimpstone orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
