What Is Smile Express?
SmileExpress uses Invisalign aligners to straighten teeth but instead of coming in to see one of our orthodontists every few weeks, patients participate in an at-home approach. Not only is this option more convenient for busy individuals, but it produces the same beautiful results as traditional orthodontics and delivers professional oversight so patients can remain confident in the future of their smile.
How Does Smile Express Work?
This process works by first meeting with one of our orthodontists to discuss the details of this at-home aligner treatment. Once it is clear that you are a good candidate, digital scans of your smile will be taken to produce the three-dimensional model that will be used to create the custom aligners. When they’re ready, the trays will be shipped to your home so that you can begin wearing them. Throughout treatment, you will be required to check in on the Smile Doctors Anywhere app so that your care team can provide feedback about your progress.
How Smile Express Compares to Invisalign
While this particular program uses Invisalign aligners, it is different from the traditional clear aligner process. If choosing to pursue Invisalign the regular way, you will be required to meet with our orthodontists every 4-6 weeks to ensure your teeth are moving in the right direction. With Smile Express, you can avoid the frequent trips to our office and instead, log on to the app and receive valuable feedback from our team. This makes the process easier and more convenient so that you can focus more of your time on work, school, and family.
Smile Express FAQs
How is Smile Express Different Than Invisalign?
Invisalign and Smile Express are similar treatments because they both utilize clear plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth to exert enough gentle but consistent pressure to shift them over a designated period.
However, Invisalign requires that you visit our team in Cumming every four to eight weeks to ensure that you’re on track with your treatment timeline. We use this appointment to briefly examine your mouth and provide the next trays in your series that you’ll be asked to wear. But with Smile Express, there’s no need for follow-up appointments. Instead, you’ll log into a special app to receive feedback on your progress.
Am I A Good Candidate for Smile Express?
Potentially, anyone who is frustrated with mild to moderate overcrowding, gaps, or bite misalignments can benefit from treatment with Smile Express. But that doesn’t make it the best solution to meet everyone’s unique needs.
For example, it’s not always recommended for children or adolescents who might struggle with meeting the wear-time requirements. Young minds sometimes have challenges keeping track of how long they’ve worn their trays and fall short of the required 20 to 22 hours.
Our Serenity Orthodontics team might also recommend a different treatment, like traditional braces, for patients with more severe malocclusions or misalignments.
How Do I Start Smile Express Treatment?
The first step to getting started with Smile Express is to schedule a consultation with our team in Cumming. One of our experts will examine your mouth and bite alignment, and discuss your personal goals and concerns regarding your grin. This helps us determine the best possible treatment to meet your unique needs.
If we determine that Smile Express is right for you, we’ll make impressions of your teeth that will be loaded into special software that designs all the trays needed to complete treatment. When they’re ready, the aligners will be sent directly to you for your convenience.
How Long Must I Wear Smile Express Aligners?
The length of time it takes to complete treatment with Smile Express varies from person to person because it depends significantly on your unique circumstances. For instance, those who have a single gap in their teeth that they want to address might be done in as few as 6 months.
With that said, most patients can expect to be wearing the transparent trays for about 12 to 18 months, though it might be longer if you have stubborn teeth that don’t shift at the anticipated rate, or if you don’t adhere to the allotted wear-time instructions.
