What Treatment Involves
Your journey starts with a thorough orthodontic assessment. We take digital scans or impressions to create 3D images of your teeth, allowing us to plan your treatment accurately and design your bespoke aligners.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for the recommended length of time, usually around 1–2 weeks, before moving to the next stage. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to gradually shift teeth towards the desired position.
Regular review appointments help us ensure everything is progressing as planned.
Clear aligners are smooth, removable, and discreet. Many patients find them more comfortable than traditional braces, as there are no metal components that may irritate the gums or cheeks. Being removable also means you can enjoy your normal diet and brushing routine.
After active treatment, retainers are usually required to help maintain your results. Your dentist will advise on the most suitable type of retainer for you.
