As a result, multiple manufacturers are getting in on the\naction, developing clear aligner systems to help patients, and doing everything\nthey can to stand out from the competition. If you\u2019ve been eyeing Invisalign\nbecause of it\u2019s long history of successful treatment, but feel allured by the\nconvenience of Smile Direct Club, it\u2019s important that you recognize both of\ntheir differences before making your investment! Here are the most important\npoints to keep in mind during your search for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentistrybydesign.com\/invisalign.html\">at-home aligners.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Differences Between Invisalign and Smile Direct Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While both services are specifically designed to shift teeth\nusing a series of clear aligners, the way that they are prescribed is significantly\ndifferent. While Invisalign requires regular checkups with a dentist in-person,\nSmile Direct Club utilizes remote teledentistry to sell directly to consumers.\nThis means that Smile Direct Club cuts out the dentist or orthodontist entirely,\nallowing the patient themselves to manage their care more independently. While\nSmile Direct Club does employ licensed dentists and orthodontists, they perform\nzero direct interaction with their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Smile Direct Club is cheaper and takes less\ntime to complete than Invisalign. In a way, Smile Direct Club is giving the culture\nof \u201cbuying everything online\u201d an outlet for clear aligner technology. However,\nthere are some significant drawbacks to pursuing treatment in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consumer Alerts By the American Association of Orthodontists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) is largely\nconcerned with Smile Direct Club for a number of reasons, so much so that they\nissued a consumer alert. This is essentially meant to make patients consider the\nrisks and rewards of choosing a product like Smile Direct Club. For example,\nthey note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How do you know if your teeth and gums are\nhealthy enough for treatment without seeing a doctor directly?<\/li><li>How do you know if Smile Direct Club is right\nfor your specific needs?<\/li><li>Are you prepared to be solely responsible for\nyour treatment?<\/li><li>Is there anything you can do if the trays don\u2019t work\nas intended? <\/li><li>Who are you going to be able to contact if\nproblems do arise?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, the AAO has issued complaints in 36 states due\nto violations of dental-practice statutes by Smile Direct Club. In the complaints,\nthey note that dental practices like these need to be done under supervision of\na dental professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Seeing a Medical Professional Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a dental professional by your side through\nInvisalign, you\u2019re getting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A clear aligner technology that\u2019s been clinically\nproven to straighten teeth<\/li><li>A company that has over 20 years of experience\nin the field<\/li><li>A dedicated relationship working with a dentist\nthat cares about your success<\/li><li>A professional\u2019s trained eye to manage problems\nduring treatment if they appear (rather than solely a computer)<\/li><li>A chance to work with a person with proven credentials\nin the medical field<\/li><li>A more detailed treatment plan that takes your\ntooth\u2019s roots into account, not just the position of your teeth (which is\ncrucial to a successful treatment outcome)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering clear aligner technology, Invisalign\njust may be the better option in the long-term. To get started in your smile journey,\nschedule an appointment with a dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentistrybydesign.com\/meet-dr-lumpkin.html\">Dr. Luke Lumpkin<\/a>\nhas over a decade of experience practicing dentistry and helping patients\nfulfil a myriad of dental needs.
