Short answer. Dental Nakeji offers aligners and explains that treatment is planned around the position of the teeth and the desired result. Checkups are done throughout the process. The American Association of Orthodontists points out that aligners are not the right option for every case.

What does the professional consider?

The teeth, the bite and the movements needed are reviewed. Some situations can be treated with aligners and others require braces or a different approach. The choice should not be based only on which appliance is less visible, but on the diagnosis and on what the patient can commit to during treatment.

Follow-up is still necessary
