Crowding, spacing or teeth that have shifted may be suitable for clear aligner treatment. Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and bite, explain what aligners may and may not change, and discuss alternatives before you decide.
$50 deposit required at booking.
Clear aligners are custom-made trays that apply planned pressure to move suitable teeth gradually. They are generally removed for eating, drinking and oral hygiene, but consistent wear and regular reviews are part of treatment.
Aligners are removable, but usually need to be worn for most of the day and night as instructed.
Digital records are used to plan tooth movement, timing and review points where aligners are suitable.
Decay, gum inflammation, unstable teeth and bite concerns may need attention before movement begins.
Clear aligners may help with selected crowding, spacing or teeth that have shifted. A dental assessment is needed before treatment planning.
Discuss the teeth or areas you would like assessed.
Previous orthodontic treatment and lost retainer use can affect planning.
Teeth and gums need to be stable before movement begins.
Complex movement or bite concerns may need another orthodontic pathway.
The appointment should establish whether aligners can address the concern safely and predictably.
Crowding, spacing, shifted teeth and previous orthodontic treatment.
Decay, restorations, gum health and tooth support are reviewed.
The dentist considers the movement required and whether referral may be appropriate.
Scans, photographs or X-rays may support planning where clinically required.
Where aligners are suitable, your dentist will explain the planned movements, expected wear, review schedule, possible refinements and retention before treatment begins.
Discuss what you want to change and assess teeth, gums, bite and oral health.
Review the planned movement, likely timing, fees, limitations and alternatives.
Change and wear the trays as instructed, maintain oral hygiene and attend reviews.
Retainers are commonly recommended because teeth can move again after treatment.
Confirm oral health, bite, goals and suitability.
Review proposed movement, timing, fees and limitations.
Wear trays as instructed and attend progress checks.
Use retainers as advised to help limit unwanted movement.
Suitability depends on oral health, the type of tooth movement required, bite complexity and whether you can follow the wear and review schedule.
Active gum inflammation or reduced tooth support may need management before orthodontic movement.
Complex bite or jaw relationships may be better managed with braces or orthodontic referral.
Decay, cracks, worn teeth or failing restorations may need treatment before aligners.
Inconsistent wear can delay movement, affect tray fit and change the treatment pathway.
Inflammation or reduced support may need management first.
Some movements are better managed with braces or specialist care.
Decay, cracks or unstable restorations may need treatment first.
Trays need consistent wear and regular review to follow the plan.
Clear answers about the full pathway make it easier to compare treatment options.
Ask what aligners are intended to change and what may remain unchanged.
Confirm records, reviews, refinements and retainers in the estimate.
Ask when to contact the clinic and whether the plan may need revision.
Compare braces, specialist referral, monitoring or restorative options where relevant.

These pages can help you compare aligners with other cosmetic, restorative and oral health options.
Clear aligners may be suitable for selected crowding, spacing, rotated teeth and some bite concerns. Suitability depends on the movement required, tooth and gum health, bite complexity and whether another orthodontic pathway would be more predictable.
Aligners generally need to be worn for most of the day and night and are usually removed for eating, drinking and oral hygiene. Follow the wear instructions provided for your individual treatment plan.
Inconsistent wear can delay tooth movement, affect how the next tray fits and lead to additional reviews, refinements or changes to the treatment plan. Contact the clinic if a tray no longer fits as expected.
Treatment time varies with the amount and complexity of movement, oral health, tray wear, response to treatment and whether refinements are required. Your dentist will provide an estimate after assessment and planning.
Retainers are commonly recommended because teeth can move again after orthodontic treatment. The type of retainer and recommended wear schedule should be discussed before treatment begins.
Fees depend on the records required, treatment complexity, number of trays, review appointments, refinements and retainers. Ask for a written estimate explaining what is included before treatment begins.
This information is general in nature and does not replace professional dental advice. Treatment options, risks, benefits, costs and outcomes vary between patients. Your dentist will assess your oral health and explain suitable options before treatment begins.
Clear aligner treatment suitability depends on your teeth, gums, bite, oral health, movement required and ability to follow the wear schedule. Risks can include discomfort, gum irritation, decay or gum problems where hygiene is poor, incomplete movement and teeth moving again without appropriate retention. Some patients may need braces, orthodontic referral or other dental care.
Book online or call to arrange an assessment. Your dentist can explain whether clear aligners, braces, orthodontic referral or another pathway may be suitable.
