Preparing for Your Initial Clear Aligner Consultation
Before your first consultation, follow these steps to ensure you’re well-prepared:
-
Gather Dental Records
Bring any recent dental X-rays or records from previous appointments. These help your dentist or orthodontist evaluate your oral health and determine if clear aligners are right for you.
-
List Your Questions
Write down any concerns or questions about the treatment process. This will help you feel confident and prepared during your visit.
-
Consider Your Budget
Clear aligners are an investment, so it’s essential to understand the costs. During your consultation, you can discuss the total cost and available financing options.
Taking these steps before your consultation can help you feel more confident about the treatment process. Contact us to book your consultation today.
6 Steps to a Confident Smile
Here’s what to expect during your clear aligner treatment journey:
Step 1: Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation. Our dental team will assess your oral health, checking for any issues like decay or gum disease that need to be addressed before starting treatment.
Step 2: Digital Scans
If you’re a suitable candidate, we’ll take photos, X-rays, and a digital scan of your teeth using advanced 3D scanning technology. This creates a detailed image of your teeth and helps plan your treatment.
Step 3: Treatment Simulation
The digital scans are used to create a treatment plan and simulation, showing how your teeth will move throughout the treatment and what the final result will look like.
Step 4: Aligners Issued
Once the treatment plan is approved, your clear aligners are printed and provided to you. Depending on your case, we may need to place small attachments on your teeth or make minor adjustments to ensure the aligners fit properly.
Step 5: Wearing Your Aligners
For best results, wear your aligners for 22 hours a day. Consistency is key—your teeth won’t move as planned if you don’t wear them as instructed. Follow our guide on how to care for your aligners.
Step 6: Retainers
After completing your treatment, we’ll provide clear retainers to wear at night and may attach small retainers behind your teeth to help maintain your newly straightened smile.
