How aligner therapy generally works
After an evaluation and scans, a treatment plan is created and a series of aligners is produced. Patients wear each set for a period before switching to the next.
Common concerns aligners can address
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Some gap closures
- Certain bite-relationship changes
- Retention after prior orthodontic treatment
What aligners require from the patient
- Consistent daily wear as directed
- Cleaning aligners as directed
- Regular check-ins with the treating provider
- Retainer wear after treatment
Factors that can affect cost
- Complexity of the case
- Number of aligners
- Any additional procedures
- Retention plan
