The Benefits of Professional Clear Aligners

Professional clear aligners offer personalized treatment planned by a dentist or orthodontist, ensuring the aligners fit perfectly and address your specific dental needs. Unlike mail-order options, professional aligners come with ongoing in-office support to monitor progress, make adjustments, and manage any complications, resulting in more effective and safer orthodontic treatment with long-lasting, reliable outcomes.

The Problems with Mail Order Aligners

Mail-order aligners are very popular because they are affordable and convenient, but what you get is what you pay for. There are many reasons why you should think twice before getting mail-order aligners.

You May Need to Pay for Separate X-rays, Scans, or Impressions

In the beginning, mail-order aligners sound cost-effective, but they can end up costing more than professional treatment from a dental office because you may have to pay for x-rays and scans to get started with your mail-order treatment. 

You will have to go to a dental office to get these scans, impressions, and x-rays done, incurring more expenses and time when you could have just started with the dental office in the first place. 

The Impressions May Be Faulty

The mail-order aligner company will send you DIY kits to take impressions on your own. This is a very risky thing to do because if there is any mistake, your impressions can be skewed, causing the aligners to not be accurate. You could end up hurting your teeth in the long run.

Not only will you not receive the results you desired but you may end up having to get even more treatment to fix the issues that the aligners cause. With professional clear aligner treatment, you do not have to put all of the pressure on yourself to get it right. You can trust an experienced team to get you the results you desire.

Your Treatment Won’t Be Properly Adjusted

When you receive in-person treatment, your dentist will be able to monitor your progress and make changes to your treatment plan in real time. This is not possible with mail-order aligners, which can again cause harm to your teeth and gums and make it so you do not receive the results you want at the end of treatment.

Trusting your oral health to mail-order aligners that have no way of catering to your current and developing orthodontic needs is not a great idea. Instead, call our dental team today and schedule an appointment to get a stunning and safe smile!

Mail-Order Technology Is Usually Outdated

Another unknown that comes with mail-order aligners is the type of technology they are using to create aligners. Since the treatment is marketed as affordable, they do not have to have the latest technology that will make your treatment more effective and comfortable—really fit for your smile. 

With professional dental treatment, you’ll get treatment with the aid of advanced imaging and design technology to give you a customized treatment plan. 

Mail-Order Aligners Could End Up Costing You More

There are many hidden costs, extra tasks, and the potential need for extra dental treatment to correct any issues caused by mail-order aligners associated with this type of treatment. These added factors ultimately end up costing more for subpar results. 

Avoid unexpected costs with professional aligner treatments. We’ll have a consultation with you where we’ll go over all of the costs of your clear aligner treatment. 

Mail-Order Aligners Can Mess Up Your Bite

Because of inadequate technology, the risk of faulty aligners, and unmonitored treatment, mail-order aligners can easily mess up your bite.

Instead of correcting bite malocclusions, mail-order aligners can cause worse bite problems. Don’t skip out on professional treatment to try and save money. Give your smile the quality treatment it deserves.
