Gradual teeth straightening with clear aligners involves incremental adjustments over time. Observing the subtle shifts in tooth position each week provides a tangible measure of progress. For example, one might notice a small gap closing or a rotated tooth beginning to align correctly within a given week. This progressive transformation unfolds over the course of treatment.
Tracking these incremental changes offers patients a sense of engagement and motivation throughout their treatment journey. This granular perspective allows for better understanding of the treatment process and facilitates open communication with orthodontists. Historically, tracking orthodontic progress relied on less frequent and less visually apparent changes. The ability to monitor tooth movement on a weekly basis represents a significant advancement in patient experience and treatment transparency.
