Thinking about Invisalign® in Brisbane City? Your first consultation at Edward St Dental gives you the opportunity to discuss your concerns, learn how clear aligners work and find out whether this treatment option may suit your individual needs.
What Happens During Your Initial Oral Assessment?
Your consultation starts with an assessment of your teeth, gums and overall oral health. Your dentist discusses your concerns, treatment goals and dental history. They may also assess your bite and how your teeth currently align.
This appointment is not about promising a particular result. Instead, your dentist uses the assessment to determine whether Invisalign may be a suitable option for your circumstances. If you have untreated dental issues, such as decay or gum problems, you may need to address these before beginning teeth straightening treatment.
How Edward St Dental Measures Your Mouth for a Custom Treatment Plan
If clear aligners appear suitable, your dentist gathers detailed information about your teeth and bite. This may include digital scans, photographs and other diagnostic records where clinically appropriate.
These records help your dentist assess your individual tooth positions and plan your proposed treatment. Clear aligners like Invisalign use a series of custom-made aligners that gradually guide teeth towards their planned positions. Your Brisbane dentist monitors your progress throughout treatment and may adjust the plan when clinically necessary.
When Will You Find Out How Long Treatment Will Take?
Treatment time varies between patients. Your dentist considers factors such as your starting tooth positions, bite, treatment goals and how your teeth respond during treatment.
Your dentist can discuss an estimated timeframe after assessing your teeth and developing your proposed treatment plan. Because every case differs, an estimate does not guarantee a specific treatment duration.
When Do You Get a Firm Price for Invisalign?
Your dentist can discuss costs once they understand your individual treatment needs and determine whether Invisalign or another clear aligner treatment is appropriate for you. Treatment costs vary depending on factors, such as:
- The complexity of your case
- The expected treatment duration
- The type of treatment required
Your treatment plan and quotation can then outline the proposed approach and associated fees.
