Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

The journey in Sherrigrim usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam. Remotely, you get an early read on suitability and complexity before paying for anything; in person, the clinician takes X-rays, checks bite, jaw and gums, and scans or photographs your teeth. This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.

The right answer usually comes from the case itself, not from lifestyle preference alone. For patients in Sherrigrim, the type of movements required tends to point clearly to one or the other. Understanding where each treatment excels makes the decision much simpler.
