East St. Paul is outside the City of Winnipeg, and you may have dental care already set up elsewhere. Here’s how to think about records and communication if you’re curious about aligners.
Let's find a time
You might have a dentist you’re perfectly happy with who doesn’t figure in your thinking about aligners, or you may simply be curious what another office would say. Either way, questions naturally come up about X-rays, recent work and who keeps track of what.
There’s no universal answer, so ask directly. What we can say is where this treatment happens: East St. Paul residents coming into Winnipeg for Invisalign are seen at our clinic on McPhillips Street, where assessments and progress reviews take place.

Recent work, past treatment and known concerns all provide context for an aligner assessment, wherever they were done.
Find out which existing X-rays or notes would help, and how they could be requested from your other office.
It helps if each office knows about any treatment being done or planned elsewhere. Mention it at both.
A tray has to fit over whatever’s in your mouth at the moment. The dentist will want to hear about existing work and anything else that may be coming up.
Restorations and earlier treatment are part of the mouth being examined. Mentioning them saves guesswork, and lets the dentist ask the right follow-up questions.
Order matters when more than one kind of care is involved, because something done to a tooth could affect how a tray fits or how the plan is sequenced.
Tell whichever office is treating you if you’re in aligners. New dental work can sometimes affect how a tray seats, so it’s worth raising before you have it done.
Aligner treatment follows the same four stages for everyone. At each one, there’s a slightly different reason for your other dental information to come up.
Request your visitYour teeth, gums, bite and jaw relationships are examined, and photographs and appropriate X-rays are reviewed. Ask here whether any existing images could be used.
Each tooth’s path and the approach to creating space are planned, so tell the dentist about upcoming work before the sequence gets underway.
Trays are checked for fit, attachments are placed if planned, and you learn their care. Keep a note of your plan’s basics to share with your other office.
Movement is reviewed against the sequence. If you’ve had any dental work elsewhere since your last visit, mention it, as it could be relevant to fit.
Some of this is easier to settle before your assessment than during it. A little groundwork with your existing dental office may give you more to bring with you.
You’re not obliged to explain your reasons to anybody. Asking for your own information is a simple request to make of a dental office.

Some people feel a little disloyal for asking about treatment at a different office. Your teeth are your own, and it’s reasonable to gather information in whatever way suits you.
Simply explain where you usually get your dental care, and say that you’re curious about aligners.
Questions about how care might be shared are ordinary ones. Ask them at the assessment, or on the phone beforehand.
Attending an assessment doesn’t commit you to anything. You can think it over before going any further.
After the trays are finished
Once you’ve reached the end of active movement, retention begins, and regular dental care continues. Ask how these two things would fit together in your case.
If planned movement remains incomplete, new records could be taken so that refinement aligners can be ordered.
Retainers worn as prescribed help keep teeth in position while tissues adapt, and they help limit future shifting.
Ask where you’d turn with a retainer that’s lost or no longer fits, so that you know before you need to.
Make sure your regular dental office knows that you’re wearing retainers, and what treatment you’ve completed.

Helpful details about invisalign in East St. Paul.
Ask our teamThis is worth asking at your assessment, along with how the clinic would handle your other care. Tell us who you currently see so we can answer specifically.
Ask about this before your visit. Records are reviewed as appropriate, and whether existing images are suitable depends on what’s needed for your assessment.
That’s up to you, though it’s generally useful for anyone treating your teeth to know about any appliance you’re wearing and any plans you have.
Let the clinic know as soon as you’re aware of it. Trays have to fit the teeth they cover, so ask how the work could affect your plan.
Ask how your plan handles this, and bring your trays along if you’re told to. Tell the hygienist you’re in aligners and about any attachments.
Mention that they’re small bonded shapes placed to give trays leverage for particular movements, and that they’re part of a planned sequence.
