From these, he can tailor the treatment plan, which will take your current state of alignment to one that is straight and beautiful.

How many aligners you will have depend on your teeth and how much alignment is required. Generally, adults take up to a year while teens usually take about two years. Every time you change aligners, you can see the progress your teeth have made. You will also see Dr. Chow approximately every six weeks as a follow-up.
