How Clear Aligners Work: A Step-By-Step Guide to Your New Smile

Holding-Clear-AlignerClear aligners don’t just look modern—they are modern. Supported by digital planning tools that help guide each stage, your aligner process is carefully planned from the beginning.

Here’s what you can expect when you begin clear aligner care at Vision Dental.

  1. Consultation and Digital Scan: We start with a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite. A digital scan captures a 3D model of your smile, allowing us to create a customised plan. No messy impressions needed. The entire appointment is comfortable, and you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how your planned tooth movements may progress.
  2. Your Custom Aligner Series: You’ll receive a series of aligners that gradually move your teeth. Each set is worn for one to two weeks based on your personalised plan. The aligners are made from smooth, medical-grade plastic that fits snugly over your teeth.
  3. Progress Check-Ins: We’ll arrange short review visits to see how everything is tracking and to answer any questions along the way. These visits are quick and convenient, with no adjustments required. Most patients in Menai find these appointments easy to fit into their work or study schedule.
  4. Your New Smile and Retainers: When the active phase is complete, we’ll create retainers to help maintain the position your teeth have reached. Retainers are an important part of supporting long-term alignment.

“Many people appreciate being able to view their proposed plan digitally from the beginning,” says Dr Stephen Suster (Dentist) from Vision Dental. “It can help them understand each step of the process.”

Why This Approach Delivers Results

If flexibility matters to you, this style of orthodontic care might be a good match. Digital planning helps outline the intended movements, each stage guides your teeth gently over time, and the process is structured and straightforward.

Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, a big presentation, or simply want to feel more confident in your smile, clear aligners can adapt to a wide range of timelines.
