®About the guide and SMILE-FX® care
An explanation to bring to your conversation
This guide explains one planning relationship after a clinician-supplied account of substantial supporting-tissue injury. Read the explanation and supplied record. It does not assess an injury or establish what treatment is appropriate for you.
Care with continuing doctor responsibility
These are SMILE-FX®'s confirmed practice capabilities, not evidence from the guideline or a promise to accept every injured-tooth case. Your individual assessment and written proposal establish the scope of your care.
Board-certified doctors throughout care
At SMILE-FX®, board-certified orthodontists see every patient, including follow-ups, under clinical director Dr. Tracy Miao Liang. Continuing doctor responsibility helps connect the findings, proposed goal and later review.
Full-service digital orthodontics
The practice provides full-service, digitally driven orthodontic care with a clear-aligner focus. The individual's assessment and written proposal determine the care offered.
Planning you can discuss
AI-assisted planning and illustrative before-and-after previews help explain proposed changes. A preview is a discussion aid, not a predicted result or an assessment of injury recovery or pulp status.
Imaging when indicated
Low-dose 3D CBCT imaging is available when individually indicated. A consultation request does not establish which records or imaging are appropriate.
Smartphone monitoring
Smartphone/iPhone monitoring is standard with braces and aligners, supporting communication and clinical review alongside individual assessment.
Flags for the care team
Monitoring can flag broken brackets or nontracking aligners for team evaluation. A flag is not a diagnosis or an assessment of injured-tissue recovery.
Contact access around the clock
Provider-support contact access is available 24/7. Access is distinct from an instant response; follow the responsible treating team's current contact instructions.
In-house aligners and retainers
In-house 3D printed aligners and same-day aligner/retainer options are available. Prescription, availability and individual arrangements are confirmed with the team.
Doctor-led support for ongoing care
Home course-correction shipments and the doctor-led Rescue option for prior-aligner care are individually prescribed and arranged. They are care options, not an injury-treatment promise.
Custom brackets
Custom 3D brackets are manufactured off-site. This is separate from the practice's in-house aligner and retainer fabrication.
An individually selected appliance
Options include Invisalign®, OrthoFX®, AirFlex™ and nighttime options, individually selected and prescribed. Your own prescription supplies the appliance and wear instructions; a past injury or this guide does not choose them.
Retention and whitening included
Fixed and removable retainers plus whitening are included, with the scope and individual arrangements confirmed in your written proposal.
A separate colour goal
At-home and in-office whitening are available. Suitability and arrangements are individual; the availability of both does not mean every person receives both. Whitening concerns tooth colour, not the recovery question explained in this guide.
What the reference supports
The 2021 guideline recommendations used here make recovery relevant after substantial injury to the supporting tissues. They are not a treatment-effect trial or a rule that every past injury delays orthodontic care. The individual's findings and proposal still need clinical assessment.
