Why Not D.I.Y. Mail-Order?
#1...Taking Your Own Impressions is Hard
Unlike the exact representation of your teeth from our 3D Digital Scan, Orthodontic Trays made from at-home impressions have a “fudge-factor” built in. This leads to inaccuracy from materials and mistakes from self-care.
D.I.Y. manufacturer either fabricate trays or have you retake the impressions a second time, leading to longer treatment times.
#2 With D.I.Y. Trays, Sometimes the First Aligner Set Fits, and the Rest Don’t
The remaining trays that are calculated at the same time are based on your initial attempt at impressing your own teeth. Extrapolating on the errors you made, 2-3 trays may work and then future trays may not. This leads to a disheartened feeling that it is clear orthodontic trays that don’t do the job, when in reality it is user-error.
#3...Root Resorption
Your roots stabilize your teeth in your jaw bone. Without consulting all the proper x-rays and photographs a professional would take, along with a proper exam of your gums, D.I.Y. Trays can leave you at increased risk for mobile (wiggly) teeth.
A straight but wiggly smile is NOT what YOU are after!

What are Attachments?
What is IPR and how do I prevent "black triangles"?
IPR (interproximal reduction) is a great and common way to close spaces filing a small amount (like filing your nails but even less than 1mm typically) without removing teeth to create space or leaving “black triangles” (see video) at the end of treatment by aligning teeth that are naturally shaped without much of a flat surface to keep calculus and plaque from forming between them. This is an added benefit from DIY aligners that our office offers in order to make sure your case tracks well and ends up with great results!
LIFE AFTER ALIGNERS
Don't Forget To Wear Retainers Every Night
Did you know the average person goes through 7 sets of retainers in their life if they are constantly wearing them? That is why we introduced the Retainers-For-Life Program at Open Late Dentistry and Orthodontics.
While your aligners are worn for 10-14 days, retainers are close to the same material and will not hold up to a lifetime of night time use.
