You came to talk about crooked teeth and found yourself asked about photos, scans and films. Crescentwood residents wondering why can read what those records reveal that a mirror never will.
Let's find a time
When an aligner pushes on a tooth, the whole tooth shifts, root included, through the bone that holds it. What you can see in a smile is only the top part of that system. Planning safe movement means knowing what’s going on underneath and how the jaws relate.
That’s why Invisalign records may include photographs, digital scans, X-rays and a bite assessment. Crescentwood residents have this done at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, and it’s reasonable to ask what each record is for as it’s taken.

Appropriate X-rays help show the support each tooth has before it’s moved.
Digital scans capture tooth shapes that the aligner design is built on.
A bite assessment records the jaw relationship that movements must respect.
Once records exist, your dentist can work out where teeth should go and in what order. The software then helps visualize a proposed outcome, which is a plan rather than a promise.
Each type of record answers a different planning question. Together they guide decisions about whether and how to move teeth.
With that information, the plan sets out movements and any added control. Some features can make the trays more visible.
Teeth respond biologically, so a digital preview can’t account for everything. Progress still needs checking in your mouth as treatment goes on.
Diagnosis comes first because everything afterward is built on it. Here’s how the rest follows.
Request your visitTeeth, gums, bite and jaw relationships are looked at directly, then photographs and fitting X-rays are reviewed with them.
Your dentist decides each tooth’s destination, how space is made, and where extra control is required.
Tray fit is confirmed, any attachments are bonded on, and you’re shown how to insert, remove and look after them.
Movement in your mouth is compared with the expected sequence, and a tray that isn’t fitting properly prompts a correction.
A little background makes the records easier to interpret. Previous treatment and health history give context that images alone can’t.
If you’ve had X-rays elsewhere recently, mention it. Your dentist can tell you which images are needed for aligner planning.
The consultation room desk and the front reception counter at Winnipeg North Dental.
You don’t need to sit quietly through record-taking. Asking why an image is needed, and what it might show, is a reasonable part of understanding your own care.
Ask your dentist to show you what your scans or X-rays reveal.
If you need a pause during scanning, say so.
If records reveal something besides alignment, ask how that would be handled first.
Records later on
The first set of records isn’t the last word. As treatment progresses, your dentist checks whether teeth are tracking and may gather fresh data.
When planned movements remain incomplete, new records can be used to order additional aligners. This is a routine planning step.
If an aligner stops fitting, call the clinic rather than skipping ahead. Missed wear or teeth falling behind may need a specific fix.
Retainers worn as prescribed help keep teeth in place while tissues adapt, and limit shifting later in life.

Ask our teamTeeth move along with their roots. Appropriate X-rays help your dentist judge root position and support before deciding whether movement is suitable.
They capture the shape and position of your teeth so movements can be sequenced and aligners designed. The resulting preview is a plan, not a promised result.

Moving front teeth changes how upper and lower teeth meet. A bite assessment helps make sure the planned positions work together.
