Aligner treatment planning uses staging to guide tooth movement, control forces, boost predictability, cut refinements, and ensure stable or
Aligner staging refers to the planned sequence of small, controlled tooth movements used during clear aligner treatment. Each stage applies measured forces to guide teeth gradually into alignment while minimizing biological stress. Proper staging helps improve predictability, supports efficient movement, and reduces unwanted side effects such as tipping or tracking issues. By breaking complex corrections into manageable steps, staging contributes to smoother treatment progression and more stable orthodontic outcomes over time.
