Well, you are already familiar with what we are going to talk about here. With regards to orthodontics, there are two types of treatments – at-home teeth straightening and in-practice braces that you receive from your orthodontist. People want everything fast today and so, multiple at-home teeth-straightening kits have come to market and are being promoted as a new solution to straighten the teeth.

Our Auburn orthodontist is an expert, and we have been asked this question a number of times of whether these at-home braces kits are safe and effective. We have researched, discussed with our orthodontists to know how these DIY braces work. Let us have a look at it here.

To use the teeth-straightening kit, you typically fill out an online form, and if the provider deems you suitable, you will receive an impression kit in the post. With the help of this impression kit, you take moulds of your teeth and send these back to the provider for analysis. Alternatively, some providers will have clinics where you can go and give your teeth a scan.

Once the impressions are reviewed, you will receive a set of clear, removable aligners in the post. You have to keep wearing the same aligners for the time prescribed on the kit. When the time of the treatment is over, you will receive a set of retainers to wear at night. We do not support such treatment, and if you want to still take up this, you must visit your orthodontist in Auburn before doing it.

At-home teeth straightening kits include clear aligners and they are aimed at people with simple teeth-straightening needs. Although you take up such a treatment willingly, there are many reasons why you might still seek an orthodontic treatment, for example, prominent gaps, underbite, overcrowding and other bite issues. Every orthodontic case is unique and there are many options to choose from. You need to ensure that the treatment you choose is safe and suits you the best.

For this very reason, we recommend all our patients to go for a quick orthodontic diagnosis under an expert orthodontist in Auburn. Besides the aligners that you receive at home, there are other treatments that you can have for yourself. An orthodontist will carry out the examination and take the diagnostic records such as scans, X-ray images, photographs to ensure there are no underlying issues, which might affect the recommended treatment and the results that follow.

Therefore, visiting an orthodontist will always be a good option. Whether you want braces or Auburn Invisalign, you can talk to us about it. We would be glad to help you in every manner we can.
