What it is
A plan you see before you commit.
Aligners are a series of clear trays, each moving your teeth a fraction of a millimetre. We scan your mouth, plan the movement digitally, and show you the finish before you decide. Then it's a new tray every week or two, worn 20–22 hours a day, with check-ins every six weeks.
What to expect
Trays, check-ins, and patience.
- 1
Scan and photographs, then a planning appointment where you watch the simulated movement on screen.
- 2
A cost and timeline in writing, including what happens if you stop halfway.
- 3
First trays fitted, with small tooth-coloured attachments bonded on to grip them.
- 4
Six-weekly check-ins — short appointments, mostly confirming the teeth are tracking the plan.
- 5
Retainers at the end, permanently. Teeth drift back if you let them.
Questions
Asked about this one, most often.
Are they invisible?+
Close, at conversational distance. The attachments are the visible part, and they come off at the end.
What if I don't wear them enough?+
The teeth stop tracking the plan and the timeline stretches. We'd rather you told us than quietly fell behind — refinements are normal and we build for them.
Are aligners right for every case?+
No. Big rotations and bite corrections are still better handled with braces, and we'll say so rather than sell you the newer thing.

Appointments run 45 minutes minimum, and nothing gets booked beyond the one you're agreeing to.
