Assessment
Clinical review and appropriate orthodontic records.
Suitability
Aligners are a treatment option, not a universal solution.
An orthodontic assessment is needed to understand the required tooth movement, bite and oral health before deciding whether removable aligners are appropriate.
Typical process
From assessment to retention
Planning

Follow the prescribed aligner sequence and attend recommended reviews.

Maintain the achieved position according to the advised retention plan.
