First, we map the movement
Your scan shows what clear aligners can realistically change.
Clear aligner planning looks at tooth movement, bite fit, gum health, and your ability to wear trays consistently.
Digital simulation helps set expectations, but clinical monitoring is what keeps tooth movement safe and on track.
Aligners are not only about appearance. The plan should consider cleaning access, bite balance, and long-term retention.
Clear aligners are not just trays. The plan includes attachments, monitoring, refinements, and retention.
The biggest factors are case complexity and how consistently aligners are worn.
Good fit or not?
Clear aligners suit patients who can commit to consistent wear.
We use the consultation to confirm whether invisalign is the right route, or whether another step should happen first.
Usually suitable when
You have mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or relapse.
You want a discreet orthodontic option.
Your gums and teeth are healthy enough for tooth movement.
You can wear trays most of the day and keep them clean.
We may treat something first when
Active gum disease or decay must be treated before movement.
Severe bite or jaw discrepancies may need other orthodontic options.
Poor tray wear makes aligner treatment unpredictable.

What happens step by step
Start with the real concern
We check your bite, spacing, crowding, gum health, and lifestyle fit before recommending aligners or another orthodontic option.
Scan
A digital scan captures tooth position without traditional impressions.
Simulate

Retain
Retention is planned from the start so the final result is easier to maintain.
3D Scan
A digital scan maps your teeth with no messy impressions.
Simulate
See your projected final smile before treatment even begins.
Align & Retain
Wear each custom tray in sequence, then retain your new smile.
Aftercare and maintenance
We give you instructions specific to invisalign so you know what to expect after treatment.
