Answer Key
- True. We recommend patients who wear the aligners be 16 and older, otherwise the jaw is still growing and changing, which impacts treatment. Otherwise, Clear Aligner Systems can help both teens and adults obtain a straighter smile.
- True. Clear Aligner Systems is designed to address more minor cases of misalignment, providing barely noticeable orthodontic treatment. However, for patients with severe malocclusion traditional metal braces may still be the best option for achieving a more even smile.
- True. We will use advanced technology, including digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, to obtain a detailed and accurate view of your smile. From there, we can decide which orthodontic treatment will best address your misalignment.
- True. Once we decide you can benefit from the plastic aligners we will take impressions, x-rays, and photographs of your smile. These materials will be sent to the Clear Aligner Systems lab, where they will be used in the design and fabrication of your aligners. Once complete, you will receive a series of custom-made aligners that fit comfortably and help correct your misalignment.
