Hybrid Orthodontic Treatment combines clear braces with clear aligners for a faster and more effective solution than either traditional braces or aligners (Invisalign)alone. Speed and efficiency of braces and the precision and cosmetics of aligners. Best of both worlds. Why not use both? Our patients typically wear braces initially for a brief period (3-9 months) to correct the more difficult aspects of the malocclusion. Then braces are removed, and treatment is completed in Berkshire Clear Aligners. The braces do all the difficult movements, and the aligners do the refinements. This unique treatment approach has been a game changer for those patients who felt that they would need long treatment with full braces, or that treatment with clear aligners such as Invisalign would be too lengthy and expensive. I am pleased to say there is now another option. Hybrid Orthodontic Treatment at Berkshire Integrative Orthodontics.

WHAT ARE MAIL ORDER ALIGNERS?

                 IS SMILE DIRECT RIGHT FOR ME???? Smile Direct Club, Byte and Candid are all large companies that take the private practice orthodontist or dentist out of the process and provide inexpensive clear aligners direct to consumer.  The low cost of the service is very attractive to consumers but there are significant differences in treatment a patient should be aware of before joining the “Club”.   Impressions In spite of what Smiledirect Club suggests, taking an accurate and usable Impression in your kitchen isn’t as easy as you might think. The initial impression is the basis for your whole treatment plan and should be perfect. That is the reason all our impressions are totally digital. There is no method or technique that is more accurate than digital impressions. Furthermore, unlike mail order impression kits, there is no charge for this service. All your aligner trays are fabricated from this initial impression, ...
