Begin with suitability
Clear aligners can be considered for many orthodontic concerns, but the right approach depends on your teeth, bite, gums and treatment goals. A clinical assessment comes before a recommendation.
Understand your part in the plan
Because aligners can be removed, following the clinician’s wear and care instructions matters. Reviews allow the team to monitor progress and discuss any changes needed.
Compare the alternatives
Aligners are one orthodontic option. Braces or a different approach may be more appropriate in some situations. Ask why a particular route is being recommended for you.
