7 Things To Know Before You Start with The Smile Outlet

By December 17, 2018 October 18th, 2021 Get Started

TSO invisible aligners are a series of doctor-directed, custom-fitting plastic trays that gradually straighten your teeth for 60% less cost than braces.

You know you want straighter teeth and a more confident smile, but you still have a few lingering questions before committing to anything. That’s what we are here for. Let’s see if we can’t answer a few of those questions for you now.

Here are 7 things to know before you start aligners with TSO:

1. Our invisible aligners work best for mild to moderate teeth correction.

The Smile Outlet invisible aligners are designed for minor to moderate teeth correction, including gaps, crowding, and some minor rotations. Take our free, 30-second Smile Assessment to see if you’re a candidate. Then schedule a 3D scan at a local SmilesHub. It’s entirely risk-free: If the dentist or orthodontist determines you’re not a good fit for TSO aligners, we’ll give you a complete refund.

2. You’ll be assigned a registered dentist or orthodontist.

We work with a network of local dentists and orthodontists, and each TSO customer is assigned a doctor to oversee your aligner treatment.

3. You’ll need to wear your aligners all the time, except when eating and drinking.

For optimal results, wear your invisible aligners all the time except when eating and drinking anything other than cool water. That means, no smoking, no gum chewing, no wine drinking, no snacking with your aligners. Wear your aligners when you sleep, wear them when you work out, wear them when you go to work or when watching a movie. Wearing them 22 hours a day is KEY!

4. A little lisp is nothing to worry about.

A slight lisp is common for the first few days after wearing a new set of aligners. Eventually, your mouth will get used to having the aligners in, and the lisp with disappear. And chances are, no one else will even notice it’s there.

5. Your teeth might feel somewhat, um, weird.

It’s completely okay for your teeth to feel a bit strange. Your aligners gently move them over time to form your new smile. Picture your teeth like a puzzle coming together, piece by piece, with each new set of aligners. Try these at-home remedies to alleviate any mild pain you might have.

And if your teeth don’t hurt or feel weird, that’s perfectly normal, too.

6. You’ll want to clean your aligners on the regular.

You should always brush your teeth and rinse your aligners before putting them back in your mouth. Clean your aligners as often as you like by soaking them in a mixture of warm (never hot!) water and gentle liquid soap. Whatever you do, don’t brush your aligners with a toothbrush or toothpaste, which can scratch or damage your aligners. Bleach, alcohol, and mouthwash are other no-nos, as they can warp or discolour them.
