Differences Between Getting Invisalign from a Dentist vs. Clear Aligners Online
Hi, Dr Wendy Wang here from Oralux Dental. Today, I’m going to talk about Invisalign treatment provided by a dentist versus DIY treatment with clear aligners at a street shop without a dentist present.
A Real Dentist Can Screen Everything
So the first difference between the two treatments is having a real dentist to actually look at your teeth, where we screen everything. We look at the health of your teeth, the health of your gum, and whether you’re even suitable to have the orthodontic treatment or not. And surprisingly enough, not everybody is suitable for Invisalign. There could be underlying diseases, for example, a hole in the tooth or gum disease. The patient needs to address these concerns before they actually move the teeth around because without getting the fundamental health right, the moving of the teeth can actually aggravate the disease and make things worse. So this is something that is not done with DIY shops because they don’t physically have a qualified dentist sitting there to locate the record, to locate the X-rays, to check the health of the teeth or gum before they start moving the teeth.
Dentist Can Record and Plan Your Teeth Movement Very Carefully
Dentist Can Put Attachments to Some of Your Teeth
Your Dentist Can Monitor Your Progress

So if you are considering orthodontic treatment with Invisalign or clear aligners, don’t just look at the price. Take into consideration things such as the planning of your treatment, the support during your treatment, especially if something goes wrong, as well as the aftercare.

Great experience! First time at Oralux Dental and they took very good care of me. Basha was very gentle and very informative of dental health. I especially liked communicating through sms as they were very responsive. Thanks again

I had my first visit here for a cleaning along with my two little boys, and it was a great experience. Very clean and professional. Barsha was great with the kids even though it was the little one’s first time. Looking forward to our next check-up! (Well maybe not “looking forward” to going to the dentist, but not dreading it at least…)
