How does the 3D scan for the bestsmile Aligner treatment work?

Open Close

During the 3D scan, we create a digital model of your jaws using a high-end 3D scanner. This only takes a few minutes and is completely painless. With this scan data, our dental technicians and our team of dentists will create your treatment plan – and your Aligners.

By the way, at your second appointment we will show you how your teeth will move into the new position step by step with the help of a 3D simulation.

Can bestsmile Aligner close gaps between teeth?

What are attachments?

Open Close

Attachments are small, tooth-coloured composite buttons that are bonded to your teeth. This allows your aligners to exert more pressure on the teeth. Attachments are used for more complex malocclusions, are hardly noticeable and are removed after treatment.

Attachments cost CHF 400 per jaw.

During your free consultation appointment, our dentists will tell you whether they are necessary for your treatment.

Is there a guarantee that the bestsmile Aligner treatment will be successful?

Open Close

bestsmile has a very high success rate, but we cannot guarantee that the outcome will match 100% the predicted result.

For best results, wear your aligners 22 hours a day.

If after treatment your end result does not match the predicted result shown on the treatment plan, you will receive further aligners free of charge – until you are happy with the result.
