What is the benefit of having supervised Clear Aligner treatment versus mail order?
Choosing supervised treatment of Clear Aligners offers a number of benefits.
- Attachments– We use attachments (tooth-colored bumps) that allow for teeth rotation as part of the movement process.
- Interproximal Reduction (IPR)– The use of interproximal reduction (IPR), which is the strategic removal of some enamel from between the teeth, allows for more teeth movement alleviating crowding and other issues.
- Comfortable Aligners– We have chosen the SureSmile Clear Aligners that are especially comfortable because of their variable trimlines. The plastic is high quality Essix ACE® Plastic.
- In-Progress Plan Changes– We have the opportunity to make significant Clear Aligner plan changes based on the progress of your treatment. This will involve re-measurement and re-calculation of aligners. This is especially beneficial for tougher cases.
Going cheap is often the easy way, but certainly not the best choice when it comes to your oral health and well being. Allowing our doctor to supervise your treatment and arrange for follow ups as recommended will help to achieve your desired goals faster and better. Mail order aligners don’t allow for much recourse. Just as the old saying goes: “You get what you pay for”.
