Before your treatment starts, we will show you computer images that enable you to see how your smile will be transformed. We don’t even take impressions. We take scans and photos and these are sent to specialised laboratories half way round the world. This helps to plan your treatment with real accuracy.
Once your aligners arrive with us , we will ask you to come in so that can in some cases create some tiny space to help align the teeth and put some white, specially shaped button like attachments on them so that we can move teeth correctly and with the right forces, the aligners are then fitted and we give you a couple of sets to take home with full instructions. The virtually invisible aligners can, in many cases, be changed every week as your teeth move into position but we will advise you on this.
We recommend that you wear your aligners throughout day and night, except when eating and brushing teeth.
Aligners are changed on a weekly basis; most patients get a new set of aligners to change every week.
