How clear aligners work
- Consultation — discuss your concerns and desired outcome.
- Assessment & scan — your teeth are assessed and digitally scanned.
- Treatment plan — we explain the proposed tooth movements, expected treatment approach and costs.
- Your aligners — wear each set as instructed, removing them for eating, drinking as advised, and oral hygiene.
- Reviews & retention — progress is monitored and retention is discussed to help maintain the result.
Designed to fit around everyday life
Each set of aligners is worn for around one to two weeks before moving onto the next in your series, gently shifting your teeth according to a plan mapped out from the very start of treatment. Most adult patients see full results within 6–18 months, and because the aligners are removable, there's no need to change how you eat, brush or floss.

FAQs
Am I suitable for clear aligners?
Aligners handle a wide range of crowding, spacing and alignment problems, but some bites and some larger movements are better treated with a fixed brace. If that is your case we will explain why and what the alternatives are.
How noticeable are the aligners?
The aligners are clear and fit closely over the teeth, so they are far less noticeable than a fixed brace. They are not completely invisible — someone looking closely, or the edge catching the light, can give them away — but in ordinary conversation most people will not spot them.
How many hours a day do I need to wear them?
20 to 22 hours a day — in effect, all the time except when you are eating, drinking anything other than water, or cleaning your teeth. Aligners only work while they are in, so wearing them less than this makes treatment take longer.
Can I eat while wearing aligners?
Take them out to eat, and for anything other than plain water. Food gets trapped against the teeth under an aligner, and hot drinks can distort the plastic. Brush before you put them back in.
Will I need retainers afterwards?
Yes. Teeth drift back towards their old position if nothing holds them, whatever system moved them in the first place. Retention is part of the treatment rather than an optional extra, and we will discuss what yours involves before you finish.
