What it is
Clear aligners are a series of thin plastic trays, each one slightly different, that gradually move your teeth. You wear them about 22 hours a day and change to a new set every one to two weeks.
What happens, step by step
01
Orthodontic assessment, photos and a 3D scan of your teeth.
02
Digital plan showing the planned movement, shared with you before you commit.
03
First aligners fitted, with small tooth-coloured attachments if needed.
04
Regular reviews, then retainers to hold the new position.
Aftercare
Remove aligners to eat and drink anything except water, and brush before putting them back. Wearing retainers as advised is the key to keeping the result.
Common questions
Are aligners suitable for everyone?
Many adults and teenagers are suitable. Some complex bites are better treated with fixed braces; we tell you honestly after the assessment.
Will they affect my speech?
What happens after treatment?
General information only. Your dentist will explain what applies to you at your consultation.
Other treatments
Treatments are often combined in one plan. These are the ones patients ask about most.
