Sonrisa-online Invisible Aligners

What are  Sonrisa-online invisible Aligners?

Our invisible aligner therapy includes several sets of tight-fitting, custom-made clear plastic aligners that gradually shift teeth into their desired position.

How do Sonrisaon-line Invisible Aligners straighten teeth?

Our invisible aligners come as a set of multiple aligners. Each aligner will make slight adjustments to tooth position, a process that is mapped out in advance by a Sonrisa on-line affiliated licensed dental professional in your state who reviews your case through our SONRISA STUDY technology platform. You’ll begin wearing a new set of aligners as directed by your prescribed treatment plan, advancing you to the next stage of your treatment. We make it even easier by shipping one or two sets of your aligners each month to help you stay on schedule

What are Sonrisaon-line Invisible Aligners made of?

Our aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces often do.

Are Sonrisaon-line Invisible Aligners trimmed in a scalloped fashion or straight across?

Sonrisa-online invisible aligners are trimmed in a straight fashion across the top, allowing us to get optimal turning force to straighten your teeth. This also eliminates the need for buttons or attachments, which are generally considered unsightly or uncomfortable.

How do I know if I’m right for Sonrisaon-line Invisible Aligners?

Every Sonrisa-online order begins with a free Smile Assessment followed by a remote orthodontic evaluation to determine if you are a smile candidate. Our invisible aligner system is designed for minor to moderate teeth correction, including space between teeth, crowding, rotations, and some bite correction. Am I a candidate?

How long do I need to wait after having my wisdom teeth removed before I can start with Sonrisaon-line?

Tipically you will need to wait six weeks after having your third molars (or wisdom teeth) extracted before starting with Sonrisaon-line. If your dentist or surgeon feels it’s safe, you may be able to start earlier with a signed release form from his or her office.

What if I still have my wisdom teeth?

If your dentist has recommended removal of wisdom teeth then please follow that direction. If not, you can purchase our orthodontic evaluation and the doctor overseeing your case can review this for you. And if it is determined that remote aligner treatment isn’t right for you, we will refund your evaluation purchase price.

Am I a candidate for Sonrisaon-line if I have an implant?

Our aligners can work for some customers who have an implant. The dental professionals in our network assess these situations on a case-by-case basis as a part of the first step in our process. If they determine our aligners aren’t a fit for your needs, they will let you know.

Can I use Sonrisaon-line invisible aligners if I have missing teeth? missing teeth?

Evaluation Process

How does the scanning technology work?

Our Sonrisa Techs use a highly accurate 3D optical camera to capture a digital map of your smile, including your teeth and gum lines. This 3D image helps us determine if our aligners are a fit for your smile and allows our lab to work with the doctor overseeing your case in creating your personalized treatment plan

How do I schedule a scanning appointment?

Simply book a scan on our site. You’ll be given a few times to choose from, and our team will follow-up to confirm your scheduled appointment.

What if I need to reschedule my appointment?

Give us a call at +34937871876 at least 24 hours before your appointment time to reschedule your appointment to avoid cancellation fees

What happens if I am late for my appointment?

Life happens, and sometimes you run late. Please call us at +34937871876 and let us know when we can expect you to arrive at the SonrisaCenter. We’ll do everything in our power to work you in to the schedule.

Is there a cancellation fee for missed appointments?

Our SonrisaTechs are actively scanning new patients for affordable invisible aligner therapy. In order to respect their schedules and the schedules of other patients, missed appointments will incur a 95€ fee.

How long does the scan take?

About 20 to 30 minutes, give or take.

What are the SonrisaTech’s qualifications?

SonrisaTechs come from a variety of backgrounds and are trained to efficiently and accurately capture a 3D image of your smile. Many of our Techs are registered dental assistants, dental hygienists, or home health aides. We actively monitor and evaluate the quality of their work—including your experience. Our SonrisaTechs are able to answer any questions you have about our service, our process, our technology, and most questions about straightening your smile using invisible aligners.

What if I’m not in a scanning market or can’t or don’t want to go to a SonrisaCenter?

That’s no problem at all. We also offer an easy-to-use, at-home evaluation kit that includes an online photo assessment and dental impressions.

What if I make a mistake on my impressions?

If our lab receives distorted impressions that prevent them from making accurate aligners, we will contact you regarding sending another impression kit for 55.00€ This price can be deducted from your treatment plan cost when you purchase your aligners.

Treatment Process

Can I view what my expected results will be after treatment is completed?

Yes, after our lab receives your impressions, we create a custom treatment plan which shows a before and after 3D visualization of how your teeth will move with treatment. If it is determined that our aligner therapy isn’t appropriate for your circumstances, we’ll be happy to let you know.. You can see examples of how our custom treatment plans work by visiting our Treatment plans

How long is the typical treatment process?

Depending on your custom treatment plan, our invisible aligner system is designed to be used for 3 to 10 months.

Why do I need aligners for both arches if I only want to change one?

Fixing crowding or spacing changes your bite. To keep the bite correct, the doctors in our network recommend treating the other arch, too. If you’re correcting crowding in one arch, you have to widen the shape of the opposing teeth to match or the bite can be affected. The same principal is true for correcting spacing in your teeth. As gaps are closed, the shape of the arch changes. The arches need to be symmetrical to ensure a good bite, so the bottom teeth may need to be adjusted, even if you’re primarily concerned with a gap in only one arch. Not only can ignoring the opposing arch cause issues with the bite, it can also result in dental relapse.

Can I use Sonrisaon-line invisible aligners on only my upper or lower teeth?

Fixing crowding or spacing issues changes your bite. In order to maintain a correct bite, both upper and lower teeth need to be taken into account as a part of your treatment plan. Additionally, only correcting a single arch can result in dental relapse. For these reasons, all plans include both upper and lower arches.

How do I use my chewies?

We include Chewies with your aligners to help you get a tighter fit. Simply insert your aligners, put your chewie between your teeth and chew as if it were a piece of gum. Use your chewies for 10-15 minutes at a time, 2-3 times per day.

Why don’t my aligners cover my molars?

Because we custom-make your aligners to fit your mouth, our goal is to make your aligners the appropriate size to realign your smile while being as unobtrusive as possible. For this reason, your aligners may not fully cover your back molars if molar movement is not a part of your treatment plan.

How often should I wear my aligners?

You should wear your aligners for most of the day and night, as directed by your prescribed treatment plan.

Will my teeth hurt during treatment?

Most people experience some tooth soreness for a few days after wearing new aligners. This is perfectly normal. It is a sign that your aligners are working, gently moving your teeth to their final destination. This soreness should gradually go away after the first few days of a new set.

Are there any visits to a dental office during treatment?

Most Sonrisa-online patients don’t require any visits to a dental office during their invisible aligner treatment.

What happens if I lose an aligner?

If you lose one of your aligners, you will need to order a replacement right away. The cost for replacements is only 50€ per tray. Your replacement aligner will generally ship within 7 days of placing the order. During that time, you will need to wear the previous aligner to ensure that your teeth do not shift back to their original position. To order a replacement aligner please call our patient care team at +34937871876 or send an email to tratamiento@sonrisa-online.com

What happens after my invisible aligner treatment is complete?

We strongly recommend protecting your investment in your new smile with our custom-fit Sonrisa-online.com invisible retainers. Without retainers, teeth have a tendency to shift back to their original position. Our custom-fit retainers will both ensure that your teeth remain in their corrected position and also protect against any night-time grinding. Our retainer set costs 99.00€ and is available to purchase after treatment is completed. You may call our patient care team at +34937871876 to place your order or email tratamiento@sonrisa-online.com

Do I have to wear a retainer after treatment?

As with any orthodontic treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer regularly to maintain your new smile. You’ll wear your retainers 24 hours a day (except for eating and drinking) for two weeks. After that, you’ll want to wear your retainers only while you sleep. We recommend replacing your retainers every six months to keep them fresh.

How does the monthly shipment program work?

Once a month, in order to help you keep your treatment plan on schedule, we will ship you the aligners you need for the coming month. Each package will be marked and numbered so that you can quickly know the proper sequence in which to wear these.
