Assessment and alternatives
Your clinician will ask what you want to change and check your teeth, gums and bite. A scan or other records can help plan the tooth movements. Some movements are better managed with fixed braces or another approach.
What to discuss before deciding
Ask how much daily wear the aligners would need, what to do if they stop fitting and how the team will check progress. Discuss what retainers and follow-up will be needed.
