1. Do I need to see an orthodontist regularly during treatment?
No, our transparent aligners are designed to minimize office visits. Through virtual follow-up with our experts, you receive regular updates on your progress. However, if a physical check-up is required, an in-person appointment may be recommended.
2. Can I eat and drink with my gutters?
No. Aligners should be removed before every meal or drink (except water). This prevents staining, deformation or breakage. After eating, it is advisable to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back on.
3. Are the results permanent after treatment?
Yes, but to maintain your results, we recommend wearing a retainer (a special post-treatment aligner). This prevents your teeth from shifting again.
4. Is the treatment painful?
Smile Club aligners apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth. You may feel a little discomfort for the first few days with each new aligner, but this soon disappears.
5. What is the average duration of a treatment?
Duration varies according to the complexity of the case, but on average, treatment lasts between 6 and 8 months.
6. Can I see the final result of my smile in advance?
Yes, before we begin, we create a 3D simulation that shows the gradual transformation of your teeth to the final result.
7. Are aligners really invisible?
Yes, our eavestroughs are made of transparent, discreet material, virtually invisible to the naked eye.
8. Is it suitable for teenagers?
Absolutely. Our aligners are designed for adults as well as teenagers, with the appropriate follow-up to ensure optimal progress.
9. What happens if I lose an aligner?
No need to worry! Contact our team immediately. Depending on your situation, we can either have you carry the previous aligner, advance to the next one, or produce a new one.
10. How do I clean my aligners?
Simply rinse with cold water and brush gently with a soft brush. Avoid hot water, which could deform them.
11. Do aligners affect my speech?
At first, you may notice a slight change in pronunciation, but most users quickly get used to it after a few hours or days.
12. Can I play sports or an instrument with my aligners?
Yes, but we recommend removing the aligners for contact sports and when using wind instruments to avoid breakage or discomfort.
13. Are there any dietary restrictions during treatment?
No, but it is important to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Avoid very hot or sweet drinks if you need to put them back on quickly.
14. How do I know if my treatment is progressing correctly?
Thanks to virtual monitoring, you can send photos of your teeth to your expert, who will check progress and give you instructions if necessary.
15. Are the aligners comfortable to wear all day?
Yes, they're designed to be worn for around 20 to 22 hours a day. Their flexible, customized material ensures optimum comfort all day long.
