Why regular reviews matter

Clear aligner treatment relies on consistent monitoring to make sure your teeth are moving as planned.With Toothfairy, reviews are accessible, convenient, and technology‑driven, giving you dentist‑led support without needing in‑clinic visits.

‍

Regular reviews help dentists:

• track tooth movement
• check aligner fit
• monitor gum health
• adjust treatment if needed
• prevent issues early

‍

This makes your aligner journey safer and more predictable.

How often Toothfairy dentists review your progress

1. Weekly photo check‑ins

You’ll upload photos through the app every week.Dentists use these images to assess:

• aligner fit
• tooth movement
• gum condition
• any discomfort or pressure points

‍

Weekly reviews keep your treatment on‑demand, accessible, and digitally supervised.

2. Review at every aligner change

Most people switch aligners every 1–2 weeks.Dentists review your photos before approving the next stage.

3. Additional reviews if needed

If your dentist spots something unusual — or if you report discomfort — they may request extra photos or provide tailored guidance.

4. End‑of‑stage review
