SmileTRU – Invisible Orthodontics to straighten your teeth
What is SmileTRU?
SmileTRU is an ‘invisible orthodontics’ system using a series of clear aligners. It is an alternative to traditional train track type braces. It is similar to Invisalign.
Who can get SmileTRU?
It is possible to treat many orthodontic cases with SmileTRU, such as irregular front teeth due to crowding or spacing. Your dentist will be able to discuss this with you.
How much does it cost?
To see the current cost of SmileTRU treatment, please see our Prices page.
How do I get it?
First you need to attend for a consultation where we will discuss your suitability. We have other options to straighten your teeth if SmileTRU is not for you. At the consultation appointment we may:
Take very accurate impressions of your teeth.
Take a bite registration to show your exact biting points.
Take a series of high quality photographs.
Take a special full mouth X-ray known as an OPT.
These items are then sent to the laboratory for evaluation.
In a week or two we will be sent a 3D representation of the likely
results which we can show you on a computer. This will also show us
how many aligners you are likely to require, and how long treatment
is likely to take.
There may be other items required for treatment. These items will be
fully explained to you prior to commencement of treatment, and an
estimate of likely costs given.
On agreeing the treatment plan, SmileTRU will produce the
first set of positioners.
Each aligner is worn for a minimum of 20 hours per day until it feels
loose, which normally takes 14 days.
New patients to Woodside Crescent Dental Practice will be required
to register with us and have a full examination for assessment of
dental fitness – or be referred by their current dentist.
Existing patients may book an appointment for assessment at any
time.
Quotations & treatment plans are valid for 6 months.
