Direct to consumer clear aligners? You may not be smiling after all!

You may have seen a number of adverts offering to improve your smile with clear aligner braces delivered direct to your door. All we would say is, “buyer beware” and “do your research”. Your teeth and smile are far too important to take risks with.

The General Dental Council is the official regulator of dentistry in the UK. Their remit is to protect the public and they have released a statement and accompanying guidance for patients and professionals regarding direct-to-consumer orthodontic treatment.

The GDC said:

"In line with current authoritative clinical guidance, and orthodontic training, clinical judgements about the suitability of a proposed course of orthodontic treatment must be based on a full assessment of the patient’s oral health. At present, there is no effective substitute for a physical, clinical examination as the foundation for that assessment.”

In addition:

“Patients must know the full name of the dental professional responsible for their treatment and be able to make direct contact with that person if they need to”

Information to help you make decisions about whether direct to your home aligners or braces are right and safe for you.
