You may have seen a wealth of ads trying to sell you cheaper alternatives to Invisalign clear aligners. However, while these clear aligner startups may be more affordable, they don’t offer the same quality as Invisalign itself. With Welcome Orthodontics West London Invisalign, you’ll receive a thorough evaluation, as well as a more personalised treatment experience.
If you’re still hesitant as to which treatment will suit you best, here is the truth about clear aligner startups so that you can make an informed decision.
Clear aligner startups don’t take the time to evaluate your individual needs. Instead, these companies send you tooth moulds, which you then send back to them to receive your trays. While your aligners will be moulded to your teeth, you will not receive an orthodontist’s professional opinion. In fact, you may miss out on a completely different treatment option that is better suited to your aesthetic goals.
With West London Invisalign, your dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation to check whether or not you’re a good candidate for this type of treatment. They will take the following factors into account:
At Welcome Orthodontics, Dr Chaw-Su Kyi will carefully evaluate your individual oral anatomy and your bite. She will take all factors into consideration in order to create a custom-built treatment plan just for you.
Clear aligner startups aren’t always dental professionals. By working with one of these companies, you’re essentially acting as your own dentist. While these companies may ask for photos in order to evaluate your progress, these images don’t give them a full picture of your mouth. With this method, they may miss an important factor that could be causing the dental issues you’re experiencing.
On the other hand, our West London Invisalign orthodontists undergo specialised training to use Invisalign. They also have the opportunity to receive Invisalign designations of Preferred, Premium, and Elite depending on the number of cases they complete successfully.
In the United Kingdom, dental procedures can only be legally performed by a licensed dental professional. Clear aligner startups try and bypass these laws by sending their products directly to consumers. A large number of these companies are being sued by dental boards as they are operating illegally. While this is a grey area, many of these businesses are now receiving cease and desist orders.
With a West London Invisalign treatment from Dr Chaw-Su Kyi you’ll receive a series of clear plastic aligners customized to your individual teeth. These Invisalign braces are almost undetectable and won’t interfere with your day-to-day life.
Unlike clear aligners that you order online, Invisalign allows you to work closely with an orthodontist that will monitor your progress to ensure that you achieve straight and healthy teeth within a specific time frame.
