Aligner FAQs

How should I send you the job?

For aligner cases scans are preferred for accuracy and reproducibility. If you’re sending impressions they must be VPS impressions. Alginate impressions for aligners will be rejected.

What’s the turnaround time?

Please give 7 days to complete the planning stage of the treatment; once the preview is approved, it takes a further 7 days for you to receive the aligners. Faster turnaround times can be achieved with prior notice.

Which cases can I send?

We offer three tiers of aligner case based on the number of aligners needed per arch. The case is guaranteed in as far as moving teeth to the alignment position agreed in the planning phase of the case. Our clear aligner system can correct mild to moderate cases of malocclusion. If you’re unsure, send us the case and we can advise free of charge.

How long do I tell patients to wear each aligner for?

Our clear aligners are generally 7-14 day wear, depending on the case. We will advise you on a case by case basis.
