Consider a change

A little more clarity.
Before a change.

Alignment is a considered decision. Explore the assessment, alternatives and day-to-day commitment before deciding whether a proposed approach feels right for you.

A plan should fit more than a picture.

Ask how an alignment recommendation relates to your needs and what participation, monitoring and ongoing care would involve. Suitability and outcomes cannot be established through a general website.

The assessment
Ask what information is needed and what the clinician is assessing.
Alternatives and responsibilities
Discuss other approaches and the practical responsibilities associated with a proposed plan.
Beyond the first step
Ask about reviews, costs, limitations and what ongoing care may involve.

Understanding, one step at a time.

  1. 01

    Talk it through.

    Begin with your priorities, questions and what would help you feel informed.

  2. 02

    See the options.

    Ask about the reasons, alternatives and limitations of a proposed approach.

  3. 03

    Make room to decide.

    Understand the commitment and costs, then consider the next step.

Questions worth asking.

Would clear aligners be appropriate for me?

A qualified dental professional needs to assess that individually and explain any suitable alternatives.

Can I see a guaranteed result or time frame?

No. This concept does not predict a result or publish treatment durations. Discuss realistic expectations with a clinician.

A first question
is enough.

You don't need to arrive with all the answers. Give your next conversation a place to begin.
