What is a dental aligner?
Between professional obligations and social pressure, it is difficult to resolve to wear a classic device when you are an adult. Fortunately, the dental aligner now makes it possible to change your smile without being noticed. It is a thin, transparent and removable device for correcting dental malocclusions. The term malocclusion refers to imperfections in the teeth. These can be teeth that are misaligned, overlapping or too far apart. dental aligners DR SMILE can correct permanent incisors and canines, sometimes called “smile teeth”.
Wondering what the difference is between a plastic aligner and a dental aligner? These two terms designate the same removable correction device. Unlike conventional dental appliances, the solutions offered by DR SMILE are almost transparent thanks to their manufacture in ClearQuartz®. With this technological innovation, the smile of your dreams is finally within your reach.
How does a dental aligner work?
At DR SMILE, each dental aligner is tailor-made. The treatment stretches over several months with a change of device every two weeks. Its shape changes little by little to adapt the pressure on the teeth and move them gradually. To start the process, simply make an appointment online at a partner dental practice. DR SMILE has an extensive network to help you find a specialist near you. On D-Day, the partner dentist performs a 3D scan of your teeth. Thanks to Pixel Perfect technology, 3,000 photos are taken in minutes. The expert can then precisely identify your malocclusions. When corrections are possible, he explains them to the patient.
A treatment plan is then drawn up. It is sent directly to you. It indicates the duration during which you will have to wear your aligners and their cost. To help you project yourself, it is accompanied by a simulation allowing you to compare your teeth before and after. All these steps are non-binding. It is only when you validate the treatment that the production of the aligners is launched. Then, no need to go back to the dentist, they are sent directly to you. To get results, you need to wear your aligners 22 hours a day.
