01.
Your Clear Aligner Consultation
A clear aligners consultation begins with a comprehensive dental exam and digital scans or impressions to assess alignment issues. Your dentist reviews your bite and discusses treatment goals. If you’re a candidate, a customized treatment plan is created, often with a digital preview of expected results.
Once approved, your series of aligners is manufactured and provided to you, typically worn for one to two weeks each.
02.
Wearing Your Aligners
Wearing clear aligners involves following a personalized treatment plan. You’ll wear each set of custom-made aligners for about one to two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into alignment. Aligners should only be removed for eating, drinking (except water), and oral hygiene.
Periodic dental visits ensure progress is on track. Once treatment is complete, a retainer is often used to maintain your new smile long-term.
