Smile Direct Smile Direct in most cases is Bad for your health and a Ripoff.
I am seeing health damaging results in cases treated by Smile Direct. I have evaluated the results of Smile Direct's care in patients, and this service will and is causing much damage and distress to the general public especially in the long term despite not being obvious at this early stage. There is no direct professional supervision, care or preventive dental care during, before or after treatment with Smile Direct.
There are no attachments, power ridges, elastics, interproximal reduction to create proper spacing, etc. to control the movement of the teeth. Before treatment is started their is no control of, or evaluation of the periodontal health of the patient. Expansion is used indiscriminately with no consideration for the actual anatomy, or periodontal health of the patient.
Anyone who is trained well in Dental and oral health, Orthodontics, and really cares about preventive dentistry and long term dental and oral health could not approve of Smile Direct. I am highly suspicious of any dentist or health professional who would approve of what Smile Direct is doing and I believe if you investigated those who approve you will find some financial or other incentive is responsible.
