Clinical Considerations Always Come First

Clear aligners are a powerful tool — but they’re just one of many in our kit. Not every case is suited to aligners alone, and sometimes a blended or “hybrid” treatment approach delivers the best long-term results.

At Hugo, you’ll be treated by an orthodontic specialist who knows when to recommend aligners, when to blend techniques, and when another option may serve you better. It’s this clinical judgement — grounded in years of specialist training — that helps us avoid shortcuts and deliver lasting outcomes.

The Aligner Process

From first scan to final retainer, here’s what to expect:

* Initial Consult: All of our treatments start with a new patient consultation. If we decide to move forward with aligners, we can start the journey together. You will be presented with the full costs and expected timeline before the first scan so you can make an informed decision.

1. Digital Consultation & 3D Records
Your first aligner visit includes a digital scan, photos, videos, and X-rays — no messy impressions, no guesswork. We’ll talk through your main concerns and explain the process in simple terms.

2. Specialist Treatment Planning
After your appointment, your orthodontist blocks off dedicated time to carefully analyse your case and map out every movement digitally. You’ll receive a personalised treatment plan via email with a clear breakdown of your options. This upfront investment in planning means fewer surprises, better outcomes, and a smoother journey.

3. Custom Aligner Creation
Your aligners are manufactured either in-house at our Hugo Lab or via a trusted external provider. Every set is custom-made for your mouth and your movement plan. You’ll return every few weeks or monthly for progress checks and new aligner sets.

4. Wear & Review
You’ll wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day, switching trays weekly or bi-weekly depending on your plan. Most patients complete treatment in 12–18 months, but we’ll keep a close eye on you to ensure you’re on track.

5. Retain Your Results
Once treatment is complete, you’ll receive a custom retainer to keep your new smile aligned and protected for years to come.

Is This the Right Choice for You?

Clear aligners are ideal for:

Adults wanting a discreet solution
Teens motivated to wear trays responsibly
Patients with mild to moderate crowding or spacing
Anyone looking to avoid brackets and wires

For more complex cases, your orthodontist may recommend a hybrid approach — such as aligners with precision attachments or interproximal reduction.
