Clear aligners can improve alignment and appearance.
KYT also evaluates bite forces, wear patterns, and long-term stability before recommending tooth movement. Aligners correct alignment but do not fix underlying bite problems on their own.
Start with whether movement is healthy for your bite.

§ 02 · Evaluation
Aligners are a good fit for some bites and not others. The evaluation decides.
In framework terms
Are the teeth, bone, gums, and restorations healthy enough for tooth movement?
“Is the foundation ready for movement?”
How will alignment changes affect bite pressure and long-term stability?
“How will forces move after treatment?”
Should decay, gum disease, or restorative issues be addressed before starting?
“What needs to happen first?”
For more on how these variables shape care, see the Keep Your Teeth Framework.
§ 04 · At the visit
Digital iTero scan. No impressions.
Aligner plan review with digital simulation.
Attachments placed if clinically needed.
Regular check visits, typically every 6 to 8 weeks.
Refinements if tooth movement needs adjustment.
Retainers after treatment. Required to maintain results.
KYT evaluates whether planned movement will improve long-term stability, not just appearance.
KYT can evaluate appearance, bite forces, gum health, and long-term stability so you understand whether aligners make sense for your teeth.
