When we talk about SDalign treatment, there are few cases where this treatment is not possible and some other treatment needs to be done. However, in most cases, SDalign treatments are workable. So, the impression and scan of the teeth are taken for making the customized SDalign.
3. Putting up SD align
Once the SDalign is made, it is then put up properly to the patient. Here, a thorough checking is made to whether it fits correctly in the proper position to give desired results. Also, a little distortion in the SDalign will need the remaking of another SDalign. After putting up SDalign, proper instructions are given accordingly.
After putting up the SDalign, you need to go for a check-up after some interval of days. Later, you can assess more days.
The treatment process may change a little from one patient to another depending on the case. However, generally, this is the general process for the treatment.
