You might feel better about calling once you know what the first visit is. For Middlechurch residents who like to know the plan, here’s what an aligner assessment looks at.
Let's find a time
Your first aligner appointment is about information. The dentist has to find out what’s going on with your teeth and bite, and you get to find out what treatment would actually ask of you. Trays don’t come into it until that groundwork is done.
Since Middlechurch sits outside the City of Winnipeg, you’d be coming into Winnipeg for this, to our clinic on McPhillips Street. If you’d like to know the length of the appointment before you plan your day, just ask when the clinic contacts you.

Say what prompted you to look into aligners, and what you’d most like to see change.
Photographs, digital scans, X-rays and a bite assessment are all possible parts of this process.
You’ll hear whether aligners seem workable, and you can ask about whatever’s still unclear to you.
Straightness is what people notice. The dentist, though, also has to think about what’s underneath it, and how your upper and lower teeth come together.
Tooth position is only part of this exam. Roots, gums and jaw relationships all contribute to whether a planned movement can be carried out safely.
These let the dentist study things that can’t be judged by looking alone. Which ones are appropriate depends on your situation, so yours may differ from someone else’s.
You could be told that braces or a combined approach are a better fit. That’s a legitimate result of an assessment, and not a dead end.
Your assessment is the first of four stages. Knowing what comes next can help you decide what you want to ask during the first one.
Request your visitEverything the exam and records have revealed about your teeth, gums, bite and jaws comes together here to show what’s possible.
Software helps lay out a series of movements and a proposed outcome. Keep in mind that a preview shows the intent, and doesn’t commit your teeth to it.
A first tray is fitted, any attachments in your plan are bonded on, and you’re walked through putting it in, taking it out and looking after it.
Your teeth are checked against where the sequence said they’d be, with action taken if a tray isn’t fitting the way it was intended.
You needn’t prepare much, but a few small things can make your visit more productive. It’s worth asking ahead how long to allow, so your day isn’t rushed.
If you can’t remember a detail of your dental history, say so. An approximate answer is more useful to the dentist than leaving something out.

An unfamiliar appointment can make anyone a little uneasy, particularly when you don’t know what’s going to happen. You can request an explanation of any step before it’s done.
It’s completely reasonable to want to know why a scan or X-ray is being suggested.
Let whoever’s working with you know if you’d like a moment during any part of the exam.
Having an assessment doesn’t obligate you to treatment. Weigh what you learned before making a decision.
When the appointment’s over
A useful first appointment leaves you clearer about your next steps. Before you leave, check that you’ve got a sense of these three things.
Find out whether trays look right for your movements, or whether a different appliance might deliver them more predictably.
Ask about progress visits, refinement aligners if required, and the retainers you’d be expected to wear after active treatment.
Be sure you understand the schedule you’d be following, since consistent wear has so much to do with success.
If questions come to you on the way home, write them down. You can call the clinic with them later on.

Helpful details about invisalign in Middlechurch.
Ask our teamNo. Your trays are made from a plan, and that plan first requires an examination and records. Ask at the visit what the following steps would be.
Ask the clinic when your visit is being arranged. The length can depend on which records are appropriate for you, so a direct question is the way to find out.
Ask the team to show you how it’s done. Tell them about anything that bothers you, such as a strong gag reflex, so they’re aware of it.
You don’t. It’s fine to take the information away and give it some thought before you make any decision about going further.
Yes, please do raise it. Your plan shapes the cost, so that’s the time to get details about what would and wouldn’t be included for you.
The number is (204) 338-3003, and there’s a form lower on this page as well. Either way, you’ll hear back about arranging your visit.
