For teens under the age of 18, one parent or legal guardian needs to be present at the first and second appointment. Once treatment has begun, we will decide on a case-by-case basis whether further parental supervision is necessary. Furthermore, trained orthodontists will supervise the entire course of treatment.
Whether you're opting for Aligners or Veneers, every treatment at Profaligner starts with a 3D scan of your teeth.In this step, we create a digital model of your jaws using a high-end 3D scanner. This only takes a few minutes and is completely painless.Using the scan data as a basis, our dental technicians work together with our team of dentists to create your treatment plan – and your Aligners & Veneers.
Aligners
If you opt for an Aligner-based treatment, then at your second appointment we will show you how your teeth will move into their new position step by step with the help of a 3D simulation.
Regular follow-up appointments will take place with your Profaligner dentist. Your treatment progress will be monitored and documented. Every bestsmile treatment ends with a final check-up appointment.
Teens Aligner
Adolescents under age 18 also need to come to the bestsmile practice for regular check-up appointments. Usually these take place every 6 to 8 weeks.
The Dental Monitoring app supports the treatment between appointments using artificial intelligence; it can in parts replace in-person check-ups while also ensuring that the treatment proceeds according to plan.
We have a very high success rate at Profaligner. However, we cannot guarantee that the outcome will 100% match the predicted result. In some cases, revisions to the treatment/treatment plan are necessary in order to achieve the desired result.
If you are not satisfied with your results after your treatment, do not hesitate to contact us. We will review your case and find a solution together.
If after treatment your end result does not match the predicted result shown on the treatment plan, you will receive further Aligners free of charge – until you are happy with the result.
The bestsmile Aligner treatment is suitable for individuals aged 18 and over.
For those under age 18, we offer the Profaligner Teens Aligner treatment. For treatment involving adolescents, we require a written consent form signed by a parent or legal guardian before the first appointment.
There shouldn't be a problem if you have already started your treatment. We urge you to consult with your doctor, however.
You should generally not start treatment during pregnancy because of the hormonal changes that would impact your gums and the course of your treatment. Furthermore, taking X-rays during pregnancy is not recommended due to radiation exposure.
We would be happy to welcome you after your pregnancy.
