Before You Book

Questions about this treatment

Still unsure about something? Call the practice — a dentist answers, not a script.

See all questions
Aligners or braces?
Aligners for crowding, spacing and mild bite issues, if you will genuinely wear them twenty-two hours a day. Braces when teeth need to be rotated or moved bodily, which aligners do slowly and sometimes not at all.
Am I too old for this?
Bone remodels at any age; it just does it more slowly. Our oldest aligner case started at sixty-eight. The limit is gum health, not birthdays.
Will I have to wear a retainer forever?
Essentially yes — nightly at first, then a few nights a week. Teeth drift for life. A retainer is the cheapest part of orthodontics and the only part that protects the rest of it.
