From Consultation to Completion: Your Aligner Journey

Starting your clear aligner treatment is an exciting step towards a confident, healthy smile. Knowing what to expect at each stage can help you feel comfortable and informed. In this blog post, we will walk you through each stage of your aligner journey from start to finish.

Your First Consultation: Getting to Know Your Smile

Your journey begins with a consultation with one of our Eon Aligner doctors. They will examine your teeth, understand your goals, and guide you on whether clear aligners are the right option for your smile. Digital scans or photos may be taken to create a clear picture of your treatment plan.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan

Next, a treatment plan is made just for you in coordination with your treating doctor. This plan shows how your teeth will move over time, step by step toward your desired smile and gives an estimate of how long the treatment will take.

Getting Your Aligners: The Journey Begins Here

When your aligners are ready, you’ll be required to visit your doctor to get the instructions needed on how to wear and take care of your aligners. Typically, they should be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day to achieve optimal results. You can visit this blog post to read more about how to take care of your aligners.

Check-ins: Tracking Your Progress

You’ll have regular check-ins with your doctor to make sure everything is going as planned. These visits are your chance to ask questions and address any concerns you may have.

Completion 

Once your treatment is complete, you may be required to use extra aligners (refinement aligners) to make small adjustments and ensure your smile is just right. These help perfect your results so you can enjoy your best, most confident smile.

Retainers: Maintaining Your Smile

Once your treatment is complete, retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions. This step is essential for maintaining your beautiful results. Wear your retainer as instructed by your doctor.

Conclusion

Your smile journey is all about you. By understanding each stage and staying engaged and consistent with your aligners, you’ll feel confident as you see progress at every step.
