How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Clear aligner treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital assessment. Using advanced imaging technology, we create a customised treatment plan that maps the movement of your teeth from start to finish.

- Custom Tray Design — Each set of aligners is designed specifically for your teeth, gradually guiding them into proper alignment.
- Regular Wear — Aligners are worn for 20–22 hours per day and swapped every few weeks, as recommended by your dentist.
- Gradual Adjustment — Each new tray applies gentle pressure to move teeth into position, with minimal discomfort.
- Progress Monitoring — Regular check-ins ensure your treatment is progressing as planned, and adjustments are made if needed.
- Completion and Retention — Once the desired alignment is achieved, a retainer helps maintain your new smile for lasting results.
Clear aligners are designed to combine convenience, precision and flexibility to make orthodontic treatment more simple and effective.
Who Can Benefit from Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild to moderate bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
- Adults or teens seeking a discreet orthodontic solution
