Resolve dental issues before commencing your SmartSmileCo journey

Before beginning your SmartSmileCo teeth straightening journey, it’s important to make sure your teeth are healthy. Here’s what you need to know.

Resolve Any Dental Issues First

Before we can send you aligners to give you the smile of your dreams, it’s best to see a local dentist. You can get straight teeth in months and more affordably with SmartSmileCo, but you need to resolve any underlying dental issues first. This will ensure your teeth are strong and ready for movement.

Your Local Dentist Is Key Regular cleanings with your local dentist are the best way to ensure your teeth are in top shape. Your dentist can check for any concerns, like gum disease, and take care of any dental work you might need. Treatments like crowns and fillings can affect how our aligners fit. You’ll need to have these treatments completed before starting your teeth straightening journey.

Wisdom Teeth and Your Aligners

A lot of people ask, “Can I get SmartSmileCo with wisdom teeth?” Every mouth is different. Many dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth to prevent future problems like crowding, bite issues, or gum disease. Wisdom teeth can be unpredictable. If your dentist recommends removing them, you should do that before starting your SmartSmileCo treatment.
