Clear removable tray
Removable by design
Clear aligners are trays you can take out. In general, they come out when you eat and when you clean your teeth.
Worn as your clinician directs
Each tray fits snugly over the teeth. Your clinician tells you how many hours a day to wear them and when to change to the next tray.
Made for your plan
Trays are made for your individual plan. Where aligners are suitable, the clinic records your teeth with a digital intra-oral scanner.
Your plan, step by step
From a first conversation to retainers
No two plans are the same. Here is what to expect, with each detail confirmed for you by your clinician.
Free consultation
Talk through what you would like to change with the team at 20A Station Road. Your clinician assesses whether clear aligners are suitable for you and which system may suit you.
Digital scan and planning
Where aligners are suitable, your teeth are recorded with a Carestream digital intra-oral scanner to plan your treatment. Any further assessment and scans are confirmed with you individually.
Wearing your aligners
In general, you take your aligners out to eat and to clean your teeth. Your clinician sets your daily wear time and tells you when to change to the next tray, including any instructions specific to your system.
Retainers afterwards
Retainers help keep your teeth in position once treatment ends, and your clinician explains your retainer plan. Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.
