Understand what the proposed package covers
A clear aligner estimate should describe the treatment scope and the care included. Ask which records, appointments and appliances are covered and whether treatment is limited to certain movements or a defined course. A package name does not establish suitability.
The clinician should explain the condition of your teeth and bite, the intended changes and any limitations. Additional dental treatment may be needed before orthodontic care. Ask about these separate steps and their costs.
Clarify refinements and retention
Ask what happens if further aligners or adjustments are needed, and whether these carry extra fees or time limits. Check the arrangements for lost appliances, missed reviews, retainers and post-treatment appointments. A low initial amount may not describe the complete cost.

Consider the risks and commitment
Orthodontic treatment can cause soreness and irritation. Other risks include decay or white marks, gum problems, changes to tooth roots and unwanted tooth movement. Teeth may move again after treatment. Ask which risks apply to your mouth, how they will be monitored and what retention will involve.
Discuss suitable alternatives, including different appliances or no treatment where appropriate. If extraction, enamel reduction or another irreversible procedure is proposed, ask why it is needed and consider a second opinion from an appropriately qualified dental practitioner before deciding.
