Smile Express FAQs
What’s the difference between Smile Express and full treatment?
Smile Express is designed for patients with mild alignment issues or those looking to touch up a past smile correction. Full aligner treatment at Hughes Orthodontics addresses more complex bite issues and offers a fully personalized treatment experience with more frequent in-office check-ins at our Adult Smile Center.
Who is a good candidate for Smile Express?
Anyone who’s old enough to be “adulting” out on your own is probably a good candidate, but we have to see your smile to know for sure. When you come in for your complimentary exam and consultation, Dr. Justin will let you know based on the complexity and length of your treatment plan.
How do I start?
Just schedule your complimentary exam! We’ll take digital scans and let you know if Smile Express is the best fit for your goals. If it is, we’ll review a treatment plan with you, agree together on the path forward and then get your aligners ready to send to your door.
Do I have to come in for an appointment?
Yes—your initial consultation happens in our Alexandria office so we can scan your teeth and assess your bite. After that, most of your treatment can happen at home until your final evaluation! Two stop shop 🙂
