Alternative of Toothsi Clear Aligners | Aligners India

If you were looking for clear aligners recently, you would have undoubtedly seen a lot of advertisements about Toothsi clear aligners. The brand has made its presence felt through rigorous advertising, especially on popular social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Google ads.

The moment you see the ad, it feels that the Toothsi clear aligners are the best clear aligners available in the market. The ‘doorstep’ services lure the audience to immediately avail their services at the first click. But before you proceed to fall for the attractive promises and benefits of Toothsi clear aligners, just step back and research a bit more. After all, teeth straightening isn’t a beautification process like hair straightening; it is more complex and medical treatment after all.

Therefore, indulging in something that sounds comfortable and affordable does not necessarily mean it is safe and simple. The best indicator of assessing a medical device is its safety. Anything that compromises the safety of the device(aligners in this case) makes it ineffective and not worth considering.

Most people need clear aligners for dental conditions like crooked teeth, teeth gaps, over-bite, under-bite, crowding etc. All such dental conditions can be resolved through teeth straightening treatment either through traditional metal braces or through clear aligners. Clear aligners work using the same biomechanical principles as metal braces but they are invisible, painless, removable and comfortable to wear.

Through clear aligners, one can resolve simple, moderate to complex dental problems. With the rising popularity of clear aligners, especially among youngsters, more and more companies are offering clear aligner treatment in India. However, choosing the aligner companies can be difficult as everyone promises quick, easy and affordable treatment solutions. Let’s review a few companies to know which one to pick:

• Toothsi Clear Aligners

Strength

This company has advertised itself as a company that offers ‘doorstep’ service for teeth straightening treatment. The patients can directly contact the company, book a scan on the website or can even order an at-home-self-impression kit. According to the scan, the treatment plan is created and the aligners are given to the patient. The case is majorly handled through teledentistry. The Toothsi clear aligners work well for simple and moderate dental issues.

Weakness

• The company works on the ‘direct-to-home’ model, this model is not workable for treating medical problems like teeth straightening. The facilities and supervision that is available at a clinic are not the same at home. Moreover, taking a self-impression may not always be accurate and in turn, hamper the accuracy of the aligner creations.
• The company does not assign a doctor to the patient. For any treatment-related concerns, the patient is sent to leased clinics and left to be treated by any available doctor. This does nothing to ensure credibility or responsible treatment by the company.
• Toothsi does not provide attachments and IPR for simple or moderate cases; they only provide them for complex cases. Treating an orthodontic case with aligners without using attachments and IPR reduces the predictability of the treatment.
• Hand-holding of the patient is not assured through the treatment duration as the company skips the involvement of doctors and therefore remains unanswerable to many queries of the patient.

32 Watts Clear aligners

• 32 Watts clear aligners offer ‘doctor-directed’ treatment which ensures handholding of the patient throughout the treatment duration. When a patient reaches the company through a website, the company books an appointment with an expert doctor on board and carries out the treatment at the partner clinics. The patients are assigned a treating doctor, who is answerable to any query related to the treatment. The patient feels confident going to the dental clinic for the entire duration of the aligner treatment.
• 32 Watts aligners are also provided by 32Watts registered doctors. The doctor can book the scan from the company at their clinic. After the scanning, a treatment plan is made by the expert orthodontists at the company and uploaded on the company’s portal.
