The suitable treatment is decided by a dentist after an in-person examination.
What is it?
With clear aligners, teeth are moved step by step using a series of custom-made transparent trays. The plan is prepared digitally by an orthodontist. Not every orthodontic case is suitable for aligners; suitability is decided after an orthodontic examination.
Who may it suit?
- Patients with crowding, spacing or bite issues who are found suitable by an orthodontist
- People who can wear the trays consistently for the recommended time
- Patients abroad who prefer to continue part of their check-ups online
How does the process work?
Orthodontic examination
Assessment of the teeth and bite, plus any imaging needed.
Digital scan and simulation
An intraoral scan and an on-screen, step-by-step view of the planned tooth movements.
Receiving the trays
How to wear, clean and change the trays is explained hands-on.
Check-ups
In-person or online reviews at intervals set by the orthodontist.
Retention
A retention phase (retainers) to help keep teeth in their new position.
Good to know
Wearing the trays for the recommended hours each day matters for how treatment progresses.
The simulation is a planning aid; teeth may move differently from person to person and the plan can be updated.
If you are travelling from abroad
For patients abroad, part of the follow-up can take place online. The orthodontist decides which stages need an in-person visit.
International patientsFrequently asked questions
How long should I wear the trays each day?
Your orthodontist sets the daily wear time and gives it to you in writing when you receive the trays.
How long does treatment take?
It depends on the movements needed. An estimated duration is shared after the orthodontic examination and digital planning.
