What should I know before starting clear aligner treatment?

Clear aligner treatment in Neutral Bay involves more than simply wearing a series of transparent trays. Before starting treatment, your dentist assesses your oral health and discusses what the treatment involves, including the expected process, responsibilities and potential considerations.

Your dentist may use photographs, digital scans, x-rays or other assessments where clinically appropriate to understand your teeth and bite. They use this information to develop or recommend an appropriate treatment approach based on your individual circumstances.

What Does Treatment Involve?

During treatment, you need to follow your practitioner’s instructions about wearing, removing and caring for your aligners. Because clear aligners are removable, you can take them out when eating and drinking and for your usual oral hygiene routine, as directed by your dental practitioner.

You also continue brushing your teeth and cleaning between them as part of your daily routine. Keeping your teeth and aligners clean supports good oral hygiene throughout treatment.

Your dentist also monitors your progress through regular appointments and can assess how your teeth are responding to treatment. If you have questions or concerns at any stage, speak with your dental practitioner so they can provide advice based on your individual circumstances.
