If you’ve always wanted straighter teeth but don’t like the idea of fixed braces, clear aligners could be the perfect solution. Designed to be discreet, removable and comfortable, clear aligners offer a modern approach to teeth straighten without interrupting your lifestyle.
At Z Dental, we use advanced digital scanning and custom treatment planning to create a series of aligners made just for you. Each set gently moves your teeth into position, giving you great results without brackets, wires or visible appliances.
Clear aligners have quickly become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth, and it’s easy to see why. Patients love the balance of comfort, convenience and confidence they bring to the treatment process.
The transparent design means most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, helping you smile with confidence throughout your treatment.
You can take your aligners out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, with no food restrictions and no changes to your daily routine.
Each aligner is designed to fit snugly and gently over your teeth, without wires or brackets, making the experience smooth and irritation-free.
Clear aligners work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to gradually guide your teeth into their ideal positions. The process is safe, comfortable, and carefully planned to suit your unique smile.
At Z Dental, we begin with a detailed digital scan of your teeth. From this, we create a custom treatment plan and a series of aligners, each slightly different from the last. You’ll wear each set for around 1 to 2 weeks, with each one making small adjustments to the alignment of your teeth.
Over time, these movements add up to a straighter, more balanced smile without the need for metal brackets or wires.
Your journey begins with a friendly, in-depth consultation at our practice. This is your chance to tell us what you’d like to change about your smile, whether it’s straightening crowded teeth, closing gaps or correcting bite issues.
We’ll examine your teeth, gums and bite, and talk through your suitability for clear aligners. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, explore what the treatment involves, and decide whether it’s the right option for you. If clear aligners are a good fit, we’ll move on to your digital assessment.
Using our advanced intraoral scanner, we’ll take a precise 3D digital scan of your teeth, no messy impressions required. This scan allows us to map out the exact movements your teeth need to make and design a fully personalised treatment plan.
You’ll also get a sneak preview of your future smile with a digital simulation showing how your teeth will move over time and what the final result will look like. Once you’re happy, your custom aligners will be ordered.
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll return to the practice to have your first set fitted. We’ll show you how to wear and care for them, including how to remove them, clean them, and track your progress.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for around 1 to 2 weeks, for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. Each new set will move your teeth a little further and you’ll start seeing changes in your smile within weeks.
Throughout your treatment, we’ll schedule regular check-ins (either in-person or virtually) to make sure everything is progressing as planned and make any adjustments if needed.
Once you’ve worn your final set of aligners and we’re both happy with your result, it’s time to reveal your new smile. In some cases, we may recommend a short refinement stage with additional aligners to perfect the outcome.
To protect your results long term, we’ll provide you with a set of retainers to wear at night. These prevent your teeth from shifting back and help keep your smile straight and stable for years to come.
You’ll also receive advice on how to care for your new smile and stay on top of your oral health with regular check-ups and hygiene visits.
