How It Works
Clear aligners may be suitable for patients considering an alternative to traditional braces, particularly for mild to moderate alignment concerns. Suitability is determined following a comprehensive clinical assessment with one of our dentists.
Treatment begins with a consultation to assess your oral health and discuss your goals. Digital imaging may be used to develop a personalised treatment plan, and in some cases, a visual simulation of potential outcomes may be shown.
From there, aligners are worn as instructed, with regular monitoring of your progress, involving a combination of in-practice visits and remote monitoring, depending on your case.
Wear each set of aligners as directed, changing to a new set as your treatment progresses.
Your personalised treatment plan is created using digital imaging and your individual assessment.
