• About the procedure
Clear aligners are removable trays used in a planned sequence to move teeth. They may address selected spacing, crowding and bite concerns, but they are not the right option for every case. Dr. Ho reviews oral health and the intended movements before discussing treatment or an orthodontic referral.
• The process
A typical care sequence is outlined below. Your examination determines the treatment, number of appointments and any need for specialist care.
Discuss the change you want, examine the teeth and gums, and review appropriate records.
Explain the proposed sequence, attachments or other measures if needed, and the expected responsibilities.
Wear the aligners as prescribed, move through the agreed sequence and attend progress checks.
Discuss retainers and follow-up to help maintain the position of teeth after active treatment.

• Planning & aftercare
Removable does not mean optional. Wear, cleaning and follow-up instructions need to fit your daily routine.
More complex movements or bite relationships may be better managed with other orthodontic approaches. Timing and results cannot be promised from photographs alone.
This page is general patient information, not a diagnosis or an individual treatment plan. Ask the practice about instructions specific to your care.
• Making a decision
Use these questions when discussing invisalign & clear aligners with Dr. Ho. Your examination and priorities guide your individual plan.
Clear aligners are one orthodontic approach; braces or specialist care may better suit some movements or bite relationships. Oral health and the complexity of the intended change help determine the appropriate options to discuss.
Records, planned movements, prescribed wear and progress reviews shape the course of care. Further adjustments to the plan may be needed. Include the retention stage in your discussion rather than considering only the last active aligner.
Ask what the proposed fee includes: records, appliances, reviews, any refinements and retainers. Confirm the practice’s policy for lost or damaged appliances and check whether your individual plan has orthodontic benefits.

Discuss suitable options, the proposed visits and an individual estimate at Lake Eola Dental in downtown Orlando.

No. Gum health, tooth support, the intended movements and bite all matter. An assessment determines suitability and whether specialist care is appropriate.
The proposed movements and response to treatment determine timing. Ask about the estimated course and the possibility of refinements after assessment.
Retention is an important part of orthodontic care. The team explains the recommended retainer and wear plan for your situation.
