We know the ease of choosing an online-only service to improve your smile is tempting. There are a number of important and irreplaceable benefits to using a board-certified orthodontist like Dr. Park to improve your smile. Worst case, we do offer Invisalign LITE, our local direct equivalent meant to compete with the cheap online services like Smile Direct Club.
More Treatment Accuracy and Higher Quality Aligners
By meeting in person for your consultation and treatment plan, there is more accuracy in what your treatment plan looks like. Instead of shipping it off for someone else to analyze, you can have a conversation with your orthodontist about any issues or goals you want him to take into consideration that even just looking at your teeth would not reveal. This results in a more accurate consultation and therefore a higher quality Invisalign treatment. Not to mention you’ll ensure you’re getting the high-quality, authentic Invisalign aligners by going through an orthodontist instead of a knockoff.
Bite and health considerations
After your initial consultation, the impressions of your teeth are taken by professional staff, sometimes even the orthodontist himself or herself. Having this expertise from the beginning allows your orthodontist to analyze and consider multiple factors that can affect your overall treatment plan.
Additionally, the process of taking impressions is very sensitive to human error. Even as professionals, we may take several impressions and ask you to hold your mouth or tongue in a certain way, to ensure they’re accurate. The impression material also has to be mixed just right and is very sensitive to timing. If any of this is not done exactly right, your impressions can be inaccurate, and the entire process is compromised. We do NOT recommend taking impressions on your own for this reason.
Also, if you have an irregular bite or other important health considerations, those are more easily included in your treatment plan than if you took your teeth impressions to send off to a different company for analyzing, where they are unable to account for many of these factors, which can lead to all sorts of post-treatment issues if not addressed.
Using a Board Certified Orthodontist
Choosing a board certified orthodontist ensures you’re getting the absolute best care for your teeth. To become a board certified orthodontist, they must demonstrate their judgement, skills, and knowledge to their peers to provide the highest level of patient care. These certified orthodontists must also renew their license every ten years to show their commitment to excellence in their practice.
Becoming an orthodontist requires a more rigorous and longer program than “just” becoming a dentist, an already-arduous process. Along with attending dentistry school for 4 years, an orthodontist must go through an additional 2-3 years of training and education on orthodontics. By choosing a board certified orthodontist, you’re ensuring you’re choosing someone who has been specifically trained in this field and has a commitment to providing excellent care to you. Dr. Park of OoLi Orthodontics is an award-winning, board certified orthodontist.
Custom and tailored treatment plans
Using an orthodontist to create your treatment plan allows you greater input in what the final result is. During your initial consultation, you’ll discuss what your goals are and any lifestyle considerations. Having this in-person conversation allows your orthodontist to gather more information to design a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to you.
