Before and After

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

For most patients, treatment lasts between 6 and 18 months.

Minor alignment corrections or relapse cases may be shorter, while more complex bite adjustments may take longer. The exact timeframe depends on your individual case and will be confirmed during your assessment.

What does aligner treatment involve?

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays to move your teeth into a healthier position gradually.

Personalised treatment planning

Your journey begins with a clinical assessment and digital scans. These allow us to map your teeth accurately and create a tailored treatment plan based on your alignment and bite.

Most cases involve 15 to 40 aligners per arch, with each tray guiding controlled tooth movement step by step.

Progress reviews and refinements

Review appointments are typically scheduled every 4 to 8 weeks to ensure treatment is progressing as planned. Refinements are common and involve additional aligners used to fine-tune the final result where needed.

What’s included

Your treatment typically includes:

  1. Consultation and clinical assessment
  2. Digital scans
  3. Personalised treatment planning
  4. Custom aligners
  5. Review appointments
  6. Refinements where required
  7. Retainers at completion

What happens after treatment?

Teeth naturally shift over time, which is why retainers are provided at the end of treatment. Retainers are worn full-time initially and then transitioned to nighttime wear long term to help maintain your results.

Can private health insurance be used?

If you have orthodontic benefits included in your private health cover, aligner treatment may be partially claimable. We recommend confirming your level of cover directly with your insurer.
