SmileX FAQ
How long does SmileX Aligner treatment typically take?
Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, but most patients complete their SmileX Aligner therapy within 12 to 18 months. Consistent wear of the aligners, as prescribed, is crucial for timely results.
Are SmileX Aligners suitable for all types of orthodontic cases?
SmileX Aligners are effective for treating mild to moderate dental misalignments, including crowded teeth, gaps, and certain bite issues. However, complex cases may require alternative orthodontic treatments.
What is the recommended daily wear time for SmileX Aligners?
Patients should wear their SmileX Aligners for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing. Adhering to this schedule ensures optimal treatment progress.
How often are in-person appointments necessary with SmileX Aligners?
Regular check-ins, typically every 6 to 8 weeks, are essential to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments during SmileX Aligner treatment. Some practices may offer virtual consultations to enhance convenience.
Is SmileX Aligner treatment comfortable?
While patients may experience slight discomfort when transitioning to a new set of SmileX Aligners, this is generally mild and temporary. The smooth design of the aligners minimizes irritation compared to traditional braces.
Can patients eat and drink while wearing SmileX Aligners?
SmileX Aligners should be removed when eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage. This allows patients to enjoy their meals without dietary restrictions.
What is the process for starting SmileX Aligner treatment?
The journey begins with a consultation, during which a digital scan of the patient's teeth is taken. A customized SmileX Aligner treatment plan is then developed, and the aligners are fabricated accordingly.
How should SmileX Aligners be cleaned and maintained?
SmileX Aligners should be rinsed with water and cleaned using a soft toothbrush without toothpaste or with specialized cleaning solutions. Proper hygiene prevents bacterial buildup and maintains aligner clarity.
