Are clear aligners right for your smile?
Clear aligners use a series of removable trays to guide selected teeth toward a planned position. They can be convenient and discreet, but candidacy depends on your bite, gum health, bone support, compliance and the movement required. A dentist or orthodontic provider must diagnose the case before trays are prescribed.
What happens at an aligner consultation?
Your provider reviews your goals, examines the teeth and gums, and may use digital scans or images to plan movement. You should receive an explanation of the expected sequence, attachments, refinements, retention and what happens if a tray no longer fits.
Daily habits determine progress
- Wear trays for the schedule your provider gives you
- Remove them for meals and clean them as directed
- Brush and clean between teeth before replacing trays
- Keep every follow-up appointment
- Use retainers after active treatment
Why local follow-up matters
Remote-only treatment may not provide the same level of examination or follow-up for every patient. A local team in Brickell can monitor gum health, attachments, bite changes and comfort throughout treatment.
