Before treatment can be prescribed, you must attend a dental practice for an examination by a GDC-registered dentist. The dentist will obtain the clinical records they consider necessary, which may include scans, photographs and radiographs.

Your named dentist will determine whether clear aligner treatment is clinically appropriate and will discuss the available options, material risks, limitations, likely duration and alternatives with you.

Treatment will only proceed after your dentist has confirmed suitability, approved or prescribed the treatment plan, answered your questions and obtained your informed consent.

Your named dentist is responsible for monitoring your progress. Remote monitoring technology may provide information to your dentist, but it does not replace the dentist's professional judgement or any in-person examination the dentist considers necessary.
