While full orthodontic treatment is right for some patients, sometimes it only takes a few aligners to get the teeth realigned. With the Get it Straight in-house aligner system, we offer a fast turnaround for clear aligners while also providing affordability.

We are asked frequently about the direct-to-consumer companies that create clear aligners such as Candid or the Smile Direct Club. These cases are built off a single scan. Given that there are no bonded attachments to engage the aligners more tightly, and given that these patients are unable to have contouring done on their teeth, there is a moderate to high failure rate for people who have moderate to severely spacing or crowding.

We leverage our scanning technology to scan your teeth mid-treatment to help keep your treatment on track. Within a few minutes, we know if your smile is tracking well. If it is not tracking well, we can recalibrate and re-create a new treatment path from the point of the scan that day. Efforts like this help to keep the average treatment time for a clear aligner case under a year.

Additionally, we scan all finished cases in our practice. This is very helpful if you lose a retainer. A simple phone call can set the ball in motion to print a 3D model of the finished case so that a replacement retainer may be made.
