What to Expect
To begin the aligner process, you’ll meet with our dentist, who will take scans of your teeth to formulate your own custom treatment plan. Once approved by you, the lab creates your trays, and you can return to begin the program.
We’ll provide you with a full estimate of how long you’ll need to wear your trays. Returning to our practice for infrequent check-ups throughout the process ensures everything is moving as it should.
Trays should be worn for the recommended minimum of 22 hours each day for best results. Failure to do so may not provide the expected results, and may prolong the length of time you must wear your trays. Only remove your trays for eating and oral health care. You should continue to wear your trays as you sleep.
The process is pain-free, though you may experience some pressure when you receive your first set of trays, as well as subsequent new sets of trays. This is because each new set of trays is designed to shift your teeth ever so slightly into their final destination. If you experience pain or discomfort that doesn’t subside after a day or so, we recommend booking an appointment with our practice.
Come in for a Consultation
Because each patient’s goals are unique, it’s difficult to outline your care plan until we see you in the practice.
Any invasive or surgical procedure may carry risks. Before moving forward, it is recommended that you seek a second opinion from an appropriately licensed medical professional.
