?You should NOT be able to see them wiggle. This is why they do a comprehensive exam before recommending orthodontic treatment. Any recommendations, it seems like product liability lawyers are only for drug companies or personal injuries don’t cover this case. Instead of going into the orthodontist and dentist, these direct-to-consumer companies will supply you with an at-home impression kit to take impressions of your teeth. If so, aligners are made and sent back to the patient and they are instructed to wear them for a specific amount of time to begin correcting teeth.
The week is up, I go to put in the second tray and again, I have a bit of a difficult time. You may develop gum disease or cavities during your treatment, with no orthodontist or dentist being able to treat you because they can’t see your teeth. An orthodontist typically has many years of post college education to learn to identify oral health problems and best manage them. I’m not concerned that they’re moving but I’m concerned about eating while they’re looseThis can happen with unsupervised orthodontic treatmentThankfully mine don’t move that much but I’m still going to see a dentist soon.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castThis community provides unofficial support for those using SmileDirectClub (as well as all of other aligner companies!)
I plan on going to a dentist irl soon to ask if I’m doing any damage by going through SDC.Side note, is there a way to actually talk to my doctor?? Your teeth feel loose. I’m having a hard time finding a lawyer? Companies such as SmileDirectClub shot to success by selling Invisalign-style tooth trays directly to consumers, eliminating office visits for savings of up to 70 percent. Message me if you want to talk about to more in depth but please do yourself a favor and go to see a dentist.Thank you for this comment, I’ve been worried since I started SDC and I’m having some doubts about my decision. Flaws in the mail order aligner system include:An orthodontist does far more than just help straighten teeth. Don’t freak out. Once you mail them in, they’re reviewed by one of their technicians (usually someone living in a foreign country with a high school or less level of education), who determines if the patient is a candidate for these aligners. These companies have a goal to make money selling people something that really needs to be supervised by a professional, and are willing to severely compromise the standard of orthodontic and dental care in order to sell their product.Smile Direct Club started the market for mail order aligners, and they continue to be the most popular option.
