How the Toothfairy aligner process works
1. Photo‑based assessment

If suitable, you’ll receive a 3D simulation showing how your teeth will move week by week.
3. Custom aligners created
Your aligners are made to fit your teeth precisely and apply gentle pressure.

Most aligners are worn 22 hours per day, changing trays every 1–2 weeks.
5. Remote check‑ins
Dentists monitor your progress through photo updates.
