Is Smile Direct Club Safe To Use Service?

by

Clear aligners from Smile Direct Club straighten your teeth gradually over time. Smile Direct Club is a service that provides braces for people to wear at home. Smile Direct Club is an “online orthodontics” service. Your orthodontist can place braces and mold a clear retainer, but you can do it all online and by mail rather. Mail-order aligners are an option for consumers with misaligned teeth, according to the company’s promise of “self-therapy.” 

The safety and legality of this approach of orthodontics have been called into question by numerous news sources, as well as official objections from industry bodies like the American Association of Orthodontists.

You can make informed oral healthcare decisions by visiting Family Dentistry, where we care about educating our patients. Smile Direct Club and other direct-to-consumer orthodontic enterprises, as well as our stance on this business model, are things we want to spend some time explaining to you.

Smile Direct Club

Are Smile Direct and  Invisalign Club the Same Thing?

  • To achieve the best possible results with SDC (SmileDirect Club), you will wear a sequence of clear aligners that are custom-made for your mouth. Invisalign-like therapy, but a completely different technique. 
  • To obtain their aligners, patients do not have to make an appointment with an orthodontist. A scan or cast of the patient’s teeth must be created and sent to the business. A personalized set of aligners is made for each patient by SDC in consultation with their dental network, and it is mailed to them. 
  • You don’t have to go to the dentist’s office at all because you get your trays delivered right to your door.
  • To use Invisalign, you must first visit your orthodontist, who will take a 3D scan of your teeth to ensure the aligner trays will be a perfect fit. Within a few days of submitting the measurements to Invisalign, the dentist will receive a set of custom aligner trays. 
  • At the dentist’s office, you will be fitted with a custom-made brace. This keeps the aligners from slipping off the teeth and prevents any harm to the teeth from occurring during treatment.

SmileDirect Aligners provide several advantages:

  • We accept insurance as payment.
  • The absence of a credit check is welcome.
  • The treatment is being watched from afar.
  • There are no dietary limitations.
  • A risk-free way to check your teeth (in-person option at a SmileShop)
  • Clear aligners on a budget
  • There is a payment plan offered
  • Treatment for whitened teeth for free.

What Teeth-Straightening Option Is Best For My Adolescent, And How Do I Know?

For teenagers, the SmileDirectClub aligners are a more expedient and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Your teen’s dentist or orthodontist will identify the best aligner treatment plan for him or her based on his or her unique needs. The average day’s wear is 22 hours.

Who doesn’t want their new smile completed in time for a special event, such as a graduation or back-to-school pictures? Your teen can have a straighter smile in as little as 4-6 months with the help of these braces.

SmileDirectClub Each night, wearers of Nighttime Aligners must put them on for the full 10 hours. The course of treatment typically lasts around 10 months. Adolescents who don’t want to wear them for 22 hours a day will appreciate their more adaptable design.

The additional benefit of Nighttime Aligners is that they don’t require you to leave your house. When it comes to your teen’s braces, you don’t want them to lose them. All of these options are most effective when there is only a slight spacing or crowding issue.

Because they are made in the USA with Comfort Sense technology and BPA-free plastic, our aligners look and feel like they belong in your mouth.

Your adolescent will be able to enjoy their favorite foods again after getting metal braces. No attachments, buttons, or teeth fillings are used in any of these methods for straightening teeth. Also, without brackets getting in the way, practice good oral hygiene habits like brushing and flossing.
