It’s very important that you continue to see your regular dentist during treatment. They need to make sure that your dental hygiene is good, and that your aligners aren’t causing any problems that might not be identified through photographs.
Cavities and gum disease are common dental problems that need to be identified quickly. Leaving these issues without any treatment can cause more serious problems, as well as stopping your teeth straightening treatment from being completely effective.
Your clear aligner treatment will be monitored remotely by licensed dentists through UpSmile, but it’s just as important to keep booking regular checkups.
