Invisalign Guide

Clear aligners move teeth through planned stages. An orthodontic assessment is needed to determine whether Invisalign can address your bite and alignment needs.

What to know

An orthodontic provider examines teeth and bite and discusses goals, options and limits. Ask whether aligners suit your case, which records are needed and how progress is monitored. Treatment depends on wearing aligners as directed and attending visits. Ask about wear time, eating, cleaning, lost trays, expected duration, retainers and fees.

What to discuss before deciding

Ask how the plan will work day to day

Discuss how many aligners are anticipated, how often they change, when checkups occur and what to do if a tray is lost or damaged. Ask whether attachments, refinements or other appliances may be part of the plan. These details depend on the clinician’s assessment.

Plan for retention

Ask what retainers are recommended after active tooth movement, how often they are worn and how follow-up is arranged. Compare aligners with braces for your specific bite and goals. Treatment time and cost should come from the provider’s written plan, not a general estimate.
