The Step-by-Step Process of Getting Clear Aligners: Your NewSmile Journey to a Straighter Smile

March 25, 2025

Embarking on the journey to a straighter smile with clear aligners is an exciting prospect. At NewSmile, we've streamlined the process to be convenient, affordable, and effective, all from the comfort of your own home. This guide will walk you through each step of the process, from your initial consultation to achieving your final, radiant smile.

Step 1: Your NewSmile At-Home Impression Kit

Your journey begins with our easy-to-use at-home impression kit. We'll send you everything you need to take accurate molds of your teeth. Don't worry, the kit includes clear and detailed instructions to guide you through the process. If you have any questions, our customer support team is always available to assist you. Accurate impressions are crucial for creating aligners that fit perfectly and effectively straighten your teeth.

Step 2: Sending Your Impressions and Personalized Treatment Plan

Once you've taken your impressions, you'll send them back to our dental experts using the prepaid shipping label provided. Our team of experienced orthodontists and dental professionals will then analyze your impressions and create a personalized 3D treatment plan just for you. This plan will outline the precise movements your teeth will make throughout the treatment process, and you'll even get to preview your potential new smile!

Step 3: Custom Aligner Creation and Delivery

Based on your unique treatment plan, a series of custom clear aligner trays are manufactured using advanced 3D printing technology. Each set of aligners is slightly different, designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired alignment. Once your aligners are ready, we'll ship them directly to your door, making the entire process incredibly convenient.

Step 4: Wearing Your NewSmile Aligners

You'll wear each set of aligners for the prescribed period, typically one to two weeks, for at least 20-22 hours per day. Consistency is key to achieving optimal results. The gentle, consistent pressure applied by the aligners will gradually guide your teeth into their correct positions. Remember to remove your aligners only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing.

Step 5: Tracking Your Progress and Support

While NewSmile offers a convenient at-home experience, we don't leave you to navigate your smile journey alone. Our dedicated customer support team is always available to answer your questions and provide guidance. You'll also track your progress by taking photos of your smile at regular intervals, allowing our team to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track.

Step 6: Achieving Your Dream Smile

As you move through each set of NewSmile aligners, you'll begin to notice the positive changes in your smile. Each new set works to incrementally bring you closer to your final, straighter, and more confident smile.

Step 7: Maintaining Your New Smile with Retainers

Once you've completed your aligner treatment, we'll provide you with retainers. These custom-made devices are essential for ensuring your teeth stay in their new, beautifully aligned positions. You'll typically wear your retainers nightly to maintain your smile for years to come.
