How Do Clear Aligners in Bendigo Work?
Treatment with clear aligners begins with a consultation to check your oral health and confirm if aligners are suitable for you. Any underlying concerns, such as gum disease or tooth decay, are addressed first.
Digital scans and 3D planning technology are then used to design your custom treatment plan. Your aligners are made to fit your teeth and are changed every 1–2 weeks to gently. Each set of aligners is made to gradually adjust the positioning of teeth over time.
Aligners are generally recommended to be worn 20–22 hours each day, except during meals and oral hygiene, only removed for eating, drinking (except water), and oral hygiene. Retainers are often recommended after treatment to support the new tooth position
