Treatment duration depends on the movements required, aligner wear, biological response, appointment timing, whether teeth track as planned and whether additional aligners are needed to finish the result.

This guide is written for Maple Ridge patients as decision support. It cannot determine suitability for treatment without an examination and appropriate records.
Case complexity is one of the practical factors that can change diagnosis, appliance choice, treatment timing or the way progress is monitored. It should be discussed in the context of the whole case rather than treated as an isolated checklist item.
Wear consistency is one of the practical factors that can change diagnosis, appliance choice, treatment timing or the way progress is monitored. It should be discussed in the context of the whole case rather than treated as an isolated checklist item.
Tracking is one of the practical factors that can change diagnosis, appliance choice, treatment timing or the way progress is monitored. It should be discussed in the context of the whole case rather than treated as an isolated checklist item.

No. It can support an estimate, but biological response and treatment progress can change the schedule.
Only follow the change interval prescribed by the treating clinician.
Additional aligners are used when more movement or finishing is required after the initial series.
