Patient Cooperation Using Clear Aligners

Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional patient care. To ensure that your clear aligner treatment progresses on schedule and as smoothly as possible, it is imperative that you understand the procedures that are involved in your treatment.

# Aligners must be worn 24 hours a day, except when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Please wear them full time, day and night.

# Tooth colored or clear attachments or buttons may be attached to your teeth or to the Aligners. These buttons and/or attachments are nearly invisible and will aid the Aligners in moving your teeth properly. Ask your dentist to leave them alone.

# Removal of some of the enamel on the sides of your teeth may be necessary to create space for crowded teeth or to allow teeth in each jaw to come together properly.

# It is critical that you follow instructions on wearing Aligners (inserting and removing), cleaning Aligners, and proper brushing and flossing covered in the Use and Care Instructions pamphlet included in the Patient Starter Kit.

# Always store your Aligners in their case when not being worn to avoid loss. If you lose an Aligner, the replacement fee is $100.00.

# Because the Aligners are designed to sequentially move your teeth, it is very important to wear each Aligner in the order prescribed by Dr. Trepp. Usually you will wear each Aligner until the Aligner fits your teeth well. Do not wear Aligners out of order.

# Keep your scheduled appointments – this is the only way we can be sure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

# Additional Aligners and/or auxiliary appliances may be needed at the end of your treatment in order to completely finish your treatment.

# Retainers after treatment is complete are designed to maintain the smile you've invested in. Retainers may require a lifetime committment.

If I change my mind about this agreement at any time, I promise to tell my orthodontist about my decision.

My effort = My treatment result.  It's just that simple!
