What Happens if I Don’t Finish My Orthodontic Treatment?
When it comes to at-home or mail-order braces, men and women paying for these services take a major risk in potentially damaging their jaw alignment, occlusion (bite), oral health, and smile. Worst of all, some patients still contend with crooked teeth after the completion of the do-it-yourself treatment process.
It’s not uncommon for patients of DIY orthodontic systems — such as SmileDirectClub — to be left in a lurch after attempts to straighten their teeth without a dentist do not provide the results they envisioned. Following the sudden closure of SmileDirectClub, many former customers now shoulder the burden of their unfinished treatments, and are unsure of how to begin addressing the concerns left by their failed orthodontic systems. Left unresolved, the damage and misalignments caused by these services often outweigh the original concerns individuals sought to treat in the first place. Thankfully, our highly skilled and compassionate team of dentists have the experience to evaluate the state of your smile and bite, subsequently developing an effective plan to remedy any issues present.
At Dr. Victor Oelbaum & Associates, our team and qualified orthodontist — Dr. Nikhil Narkhede — understand how frustrating and worrisome it can be to not achieve the results you were promised from mail-order systems. At our NYC-area practice, Dr. Oelbaum and Dr. Narkhede can collaborate to not only evaluate your dental needs but also:
- Assess and repair any concerns inflicted by do-it-yourself braces
- Complete the treatment originally started with SmileDirectClub or similar systems
- Create a plan to ensure you achieve a healthy smile and bite after the treatment process
- Present you with various options for Invisalign® or other orthodontic systems so you can select the best treatment for your concerns, lifestyle, and preferences
Please don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Victor Oelbaum & Associates for more information about cosmetic braces or if you’re ready to schedule an initial consultation.
