FAQ

You start with a free online or in-clinic consultation and determine if you are a candidate. The first appointment consists of x-rays, orthodontic examination, 3D scans and photos. Your dentist will then establish a 3D treatment plan to achieve desired results and order your aligners. Your dentist will deliver your treatment four weeks later and place attachments if necessary. Follow-ups are done remotely and in-clinic until treatment is completed.

It is also essential to have all cavities treated before starting your treatment.

Clear aligners are tight-fitting, clear, custom-fit, BPA-free plastic trays that go over your teeth and shift them in their desired positions.

A clear aligner treatment is a sequence of upper and lower clear aligner pairs. Each pair of aligners creates pressure on specific teeth to allow small movements. A sequence of movements will place teeth in the desired position until optimal results are achieved.

Sequence32 clear aligners are made of Zendura® FLX, a high-performing material. They provide a clear, comfortable fit and achieve excellent, predictable results. In addition, they are visually appealing and barely noticeable.

Sequence32 aligners are cut straight above the gumline to get optimal force to straighten your teeth. This allows treatment with minimal attachments.

They are as transparent as can be when worn.

If you lose or break an aligner please contact your dentist for assistance.

The best way to clean clear aligners is with a gentle fragrance free soap,followed by thorough rinsing. Every time you take off your clear aligners to eat, it is essential to brush your teeth, floss and clean your aligners. The antibacterial foam can be used twice daily to whiten your teeth and refresh your aligners. Avoid hot water and toothpaste.

Each aligner should be worn for 2 weeks. This is because your teeth will move into position during the first few days and will then be stabilized into this position during the rest of the 2 weeks. Therefore, it is important to wear each aligner for 2 weeks to avoid rushing too fast and protect the ligaments around your teeth.

Yes. Always keep all your aligners. If, for whatever reason, you interrupt your treatment or lose an aligner, you can always go back to one of your previous aligners when you contact your dentist.

For your upper teeth, the removal tool should be hooked on the upper edge of your aligner on any side in the back to pull down and remove your clear aligner. For your lower teeth, the removal tool should be hooked on the lower edge of your aligner on any side in the back to pull up and remove your clear aligner. After wearing a set of aligners for a few days, they will loosen up, and you might not need to use it.

Your chewies should be used every day to bite down on them and adequately seat the aligners in place, preferably at night before bed. Also, if you feel discomfort because you are wearing a new set of aligners, biting down on the chewies can help relieve the pain.

Each pair of clear aligners should be worn 22 hours a day for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks and accepted scans, you can move on to the next pair of aligners. The treatment will only give optimal results if aligners are worn as prescribed 100% of the recommended time. Please make sure to use your chewies for 5-10 minutes per day to allow for proper aligner seating. Moving on to the next pair of aligners prematurely will compromise the treatment outcome.

Every time you put on a new set of aligners, your teeth might be a little sore for a few days. This is normal. If necessary, you can take acetaminophen to relieve the discomfort and bite on your chewies. The soreness will gradually diminish, and you will find that your aligners might even be a little loose by the end of the 2 weeks.
