Since case selection is determined by a number of factors such as crowding, spacing, rotations, torque and inter-arch coordination of tooth movement, we invite you to review the Tooth Movement section for further details.

Does my case meet Clear Image Aligners criteria?

Clinicians unfamiliar with minor anterior aligner therapy sometimes find case selection difficult, and will send the models to Specialty for evaluation to determine if the case is appropriate for our Clear Image Aligner services and which series would best meet their patient's expectations. When requesting a pre-fabrication evaluation it is necessary to note on the Rx to call before fabricating aligners.
