What patients should understand
Traditional braces and removable clear aligners can both change tooth positions, but not every bite problem is suited to the same method. Treatment plans consider the condition of the gums, bite, jaw relationships and the patient’s ability to follow instructions.
What to verify before selecting care
Ask who is supervising treatment, whether adjustments and refinements are included, the expected appointment schedule and the retention plan after active treatment. Confirm how additional work, broken appliances and missed appointments are handled in the fee agreement.
