Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Brisco?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
Aligners are also unsuitable with untreated gum disease, significant missing teeth without a plan, or where daily wear is likely to be inconsistent. Teenagers who may struggle with wear hours can do better in braces.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Brisco. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
The Clear Aligner Process Explained
Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Brisco are typically every 6–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
