Correcting your smile as an adult is a big commitment to your time, finances, and energy. You shouldn’t have to navigate sales pitches or messy impression molds just to explore your smile options. Your clear aligner consultation in Los Angeles should be a preview of how comfortable your entire smile straightening process will be.
At The Gleamery, we believe your orthodontic consultation is a transparent and collaborative conversation centered around your smile goals, your smile care, and your lifestyle. We trade the traditional ortho consult routine for goop-free, comfortable 3D smile-scan technology and a judgment-free, low-pressure experience. Learn how the Gleamery difference starts with a GleamFit smile scan at our modern dental studios in Santa Monica and West Hollywood.
What to Expect During Clear Aligner Consultation
When you walk into our modern studio, you are greeted by a warm welcome and a spa-like environment that immediately puts you in a more relaxed headspace. Instead of chilly rooms and beige walls, The Gleamery sets the stage for a mental retreat with soft music, vintage-meets-modern style, and an aromatic atmosphere.
Your check-in is completely seamless. By completing your intake forms online beforehand, you get to skip the clipboard and step straight into our relaxing lounge on appointment day. After check-in, your dental hygienist will walk you to a private room, where you will meet the Gleamery expert who will personalize your smile-straightening plan, and your GleamFit consultation will begin. Your consultation includes:
- A complimentary dental exam
- AI-assisted X-rays and a 3D smile scan
- Personalized treatment plan with estimated timeline
- Flexible payment options
- One-on-one Q&A to answer your questions
There’s no obligation to commit to your treatment plan at your consultation. Take all the time you need to decide if GleamFit Aligners are right for your lifestyle and aesthetic goals, or if sleeping your way to straighter teeth with GleamFit Overnight Aligners is the better fit.
How Does the Smile Scan Work to Show Your Future Smile Without the Goop?
Biting into messy, uncomfortable impression putty is a thing of the past. At The Gleamery, we use advanced imaging techniques to assess the health of your teeth and soft tissues, identify structural issues, and map out your future smile. Here’s how it works:
- A small wand moves over your teeth and gums to take thousands of high-speed images
- Software combines the pictures in real-time to create a 3D model of your mouth
- The 3D smile scan analyzes your bite to show where your teeth meet (or don’t meet)
A 3D smile scan in Los Angeles can show a realistic preview of your future smile using software simulations and digital mapping. Taking the guesswork out of your smile journey during your teeth straightening consultation can relieve anxiety for guests who are hesitant to commit - especially guests who have already tried clear aligners before or who had a relapse after traditional braces.
What Should You Expect During the Candidacy Conversation?
Finding out if you’re a candidate is a straightforward, judgment-free conversation. Your Gleamery expert can deduce much about your dental and gum health from the smile scan data, and spot signs of early cavities, enamel wear from teeth grinding, or structural issues that may require traditional orthodontic care rather than clear aligners. The best candidates for GleamFit have:
- Fully developed jaw bones and all adult teeth
- Healthy teeth and gums
- Mild-to-moderate crowding, gapping, crossbites, or overbites
- Commitment to daily (or nightly) wear times
For guests with severe overjets, narrow palates, or recessed jaws, traditional braces are typically a better option. We can refer you to a specialist to help you achieve your perfect smile goals.
How Do Pricing and Flexible Payment Plans Work?
We keep pricing transparent at The Gleamery. Our no-interest payment plans via CareCredit make achieving a straight smile possible for any budget. GleamFit aligners are compatible with orthodontic benefits through your insurance, or can be paid for with FSA/HSA benefits.
How Long Is the Clear Aligners Process in Los Angeles?
You can expect your straight-smile journey to take 6 to 18 months. Mild crowding and gapping can be corrected more quickly than moderate overbites and crossbites. Wearing your daytime or nighttime aligners for the recommended hours is key to achieving the smile of your dreams on time.
