RISKS
Treatment plans with Diamond Whites has been proven to be successfull however with every form of orthodontics there are certain risks involved which need to be seriously considered before undertaking treatment.
The main risks are as follows:
- A lack of compliancy, poor oral hygiene may lengthen treatment time.
- When wearing aligners some discomfort may be experienced. This should pass after the first few days.
- Teeth and jaw structure naturally change throughout our lives. Only retainers will minimise further movement. Failure to comply with wearing a retainer after treatment may result in tooth movement, sometimes back to their original position (relapse).
- Each aligner must be worn full time and only removed when eating or brushing teeth. Tooth decay is possible if the patient is not careful when consuming sugary foods and drinks.
CONSENT

I understand that the movement of my teeth can not be predicted perfectly.
I understand that Diamond Whites, Dentist or creditor cannot accept liability on any risks or if I wish to terminate the treatment.
I understand that long term retention is absolutely necessary as not wearing a retainer will make relapse of teeth more likely.
