Arab teeth freaks, here's what you need to know about clear aligners

Once upon a time, if you wanted the perfect smile, you had to go through tremendous levels of pain and suffering to achieve it. No pain, no gain, right? Well, that's how it used to be, but not anymore.

OneTwoSmile, a teledentistry company based in the Middle East, is changing the way straight teeth are achieved. By designing and producing unique and patient-friendly clear aligners, OneTwoSmile promises straight teeth in the easiest way possible in this day and age. 

That's right. Brackets, metal wires, and rubber bands are all in the past now. No more getting food stuck between your teeth till you get home, no more weird smiles and ruined photographs, and no more spending 30 minutes on your daily dental hygiene routine. 

So, what are clear aligners (also known as invisible braces) you may ask? Simply put, they're a certified form of orthodontic treatment that helps gradually correct and straighten your teeth. They're created from FDA-approved transparent BPA-free thermoplastic polyurethane material. 

With the rapid increase of information saturation around us, it's extremely common to have false information and misconceptions when it comes to clear aligners. 

Interested in knowing more about OneTwoSmile and clear aligners? Here are the most frequently asked questions, answered: 

You bet they are! Not only are they pain-free, but the treatment duration for wearing clear aligners also takes around six months, according to OneTwoSmile. This is actually three times quicker than metal braces. 

The first step is as easy as taking a free online quiz to find out if you qualify for clear aligners. Next, you'll get a free 3D scan at a clinic near you where a certified smile doctor will assess the case and create a custom-made plan to align your teeth. 

Around five days later, you'll receive your treatment plan and video created by a certified orthodontist. Your very own OneTwoSmile box will be shipped straight to your doorstep approximately two weeks later. 

Not only are you allowed to, but you're also actually required to. Aligners need to be worn for 22 hours a day and must be removed when eating or drinking. 

OneTwoSmile recommends patients brush their teeth after each meal and put their aligners back on as soon as they're done. 

OneTwoSmile is ready and willing to take on the challenge, whether your case is mild to moderate or moderate to severe, including crowding, spacing, and cross-bite. 

Technically yes, but not quite. OneTwoSmile highly encourages patients to use retainers so the success of the treatment is permanent. 

OneTwoSmile offers a variety of payment options and channels to make the treatment as accessible and affordable as possible. You can either pay the full amount of 6,245 dirhams ($1,700) in one go or you can complete your fees in installments. 

You can even spread the cost over several months using OneTwoSmile's customizable monthly payment plan. Payments can be as low as 335 dirhams per month over a period of 36 months. 

A bank financing option is also available for UAE residents who decide to purchase their treatment using an installment plan through one of the company's partner banks in the UAE. 

And if not satisfied? You're guaranteed a refund.

One clinic visit is enough to determine, design, produce, and deliver the overall treatment for any type of malocclusion a patient might suffer from.

OneTwoSmile has over 10 years of experience working with invisible aligners. It has partnered with world-class orthodontists who oversee and consult the treatment of every patient to ensure success every time. 

OneTwoSmile has treated more than 13,000 cases of several types of malocclusion across the region by utilizing invisible aligners. 

Ten to 14 days after approving your treatment plan, you will receive a box that includes custom-made clear aligners, a convenient aligner storage case, an easy-to-use guide, a specialized aligner removal tool, and chewies to help improve the aligner fit.

Nope, they have branches all across the Middle East. OneTwoSmile is currently operating in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq.
