Step 1: Initial Consultation and 3D Imaging
We start with a detailed consultation where we take photos, X-rays, and digital scans of your teeth. Using this information, we create a custom ClinCheck 3D treatment plan that maps out how your teeth will move over time.
Step 2: Custom Aligners
Based on the 3D treatment plan, we provide you with a series of custom-made aligners. You will wear each aligner for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set, progressively shifting your teeth into the desired position.
Step 3: Progress Monitoring
You’ll visit our clinic every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive new sets of aligners. After completing the treatment, we will provide retainers to maintain your new smile.
