      about the aligners

      What are makeO aligners?

      A new, easy and a painless way to align your teeth. They give you a new smile, straighten your teeth, resolve tooth gaps and a lot more.

      Is makeO safe and certified?

      makeO telehealth platform (including mobile app) is licensed by the local health authorities. Your data is safe and secure.

      How do the makeO aligners work?

      Based on the digital model of your teeth and your treatment plan, your personal Invisible Braces will be 3D printed. The treatment has multiple stages of Invisible Braces. They are tight-fitting to gently move your teeth to the desired position. Each set of Invisible Braces need to be worn for 10 days, 22 hours a day, before moving to the next stage. During the treatment your doctor will do regular check-ins to see if your treatment goes according to plan.

      Why do I need aligners for both my upper and lower teeth if I only want to change one?

      Your bite requires the support of both your upper and lower teeth. Only then does it settle perfectly. We have to consider crowding, open bite or gaps between teeth while deciding on a treatment plan. That’s why even if the problem persists only in the upper jaw, the lower jaw needs to be aligned accordingly. If we ignore the other half, the problem could escalate the issue concerning the positioning and bite of your teeth.

      during the process

      What happens at the Doctor Consultation?

      The doctor will assess your teeth, take a 3D Scan and X-Ray. The accurate assessment is a fundamental part of a successful orthodontic treatment. Your health is our highest priority. The doctor will then create a personal treatment plan including a 3D Smile Preview showing the stages of Invisible Braces and duration of your treatment.

      How long does a typical process last for?

      We don’t rush our procedures. The shortest time is 5 to 6 months. It depends on an individual’s teeth requirements. All of this is decided by our senior orthodontists.

      Do I have to visit an orthodontist office during my treatment?

      The treatment is monitored by orthodontists remotely. You can always reach out to our experts in case of concerns.

      Will someone be checking in on me during my treatment?

      Absolutely. makeO pros will be constantly in touch with you right from the first session to the very last assessment.

      How do I know when to switch aligners?

      We will give you a schedule to follow. Also, we regularly remind and inform you about the break and shift in the plan.

      Can I talk with the aligners clearly?

      Yes you can.

      If I am sick, should I keep wearing my aligners?

      Your aligners won’t affect your health. But, if you feel uneasy wearing them while you are sick, do take them off. Especially, when you feel like throwing up.

      Can I skip ahead?

      No, you can’t. Your orthodontist has planned your treatment. Consult us before you take any such steps

      What if I lose an aligner?

      Order a replacement from us right away.

      What happens if things aren't improving as promised?

      We will tweak the wear-time and duration to improve efficacy. Which is why it is crucial that you follow all instructions to the T, so as to allow makeO pros to guide you accurately.

      Do I have to wear a retainer after treatment?

      Yes, you have to wear it after the treatment. Wear it 24x7, except while brushing and eating meals — follow this for 3 months. Post this, wear it only before you go to sleep. We provide the first set of retainers. They will last you for 6 months. After that, you can easily purchase it from us.

      How can makeO cost 60% less than other Braces?

      Our Invisible Braces are high-quality, durable, stain-resistant, and BPA- and phthalate-free. Our licensed telehealth platform lets us deliver a better quality of care without extra costs. makeO provides more regular check-ins with your doctor to make sure your treatment is on track and you feel safe and secure.
