Provide high-quality digital scans or PVS impressions, plus clear patient photos and radiographs. Incomplete or distorted records are the #1 cause of poor aligner fit
We use advanced 3D software to plan staged tooth movements on a digital model. This simulation guides the creation of each aligner tray. Your specific instructions and ClinCheck approvals are essential for accurate manufacturing.
Standard wear is 22 hours per day, typically for between 7 and 14 days per tray, depending on your prescription and material choice.
The number of aligners needed varies by case, typically ranging from 6 to 80 trays depending on the complexity of tooth movements. More complex cases may require additional aligners or refinements.
Yes, our aligners are made from FDA, CE, and UK CA approved thermoplastic materials. They are BPA-free and designed to apply gentle, consistent forces.
Attachments (composite “buttons”) may be required for specific movements to guide force precisely. While some systems minimize their use, most complex cases still benefit from them .
Yes, patients can remove aligners to eat, drink (non-hot liquids), brush, and floss. It's important to avoid hot beverages while wearing the trays to prevent warping.
We recommend scheduling follow-up appointments every 4–6 weeks. This allows us to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment.
A retainer (commonly nighttime wear) should be provided immediately after the final tray, and worn long-term to prevent relapse . Make sure the retainer is replaced every six month to prevent relapse.
