Frequently Asked Questions

Clear aligners can address many alignment concerns, but they are not suitable for every case. The complexity of tooth movement and bite correction required will influence the recommendation. A consultation and clinical assessment help determine whether aligners or another treatment option may be more appropriate.

Common signs include crowded or spaced teeth, difficulty biting or chewing, and jaw discomfort. A general dentist may also recommend an orthodontic assessment. An orthodontist can evaluate alignment and bite concerns and discuss whether treatment such as braces or clear aligners may be appropriate.
