FAQs 

That should be determined by your surgeon and/or general dentist, but we don’t recommend doing it within 6 weeks of your procedure. You might be able to start sooner if your surgeon says it’s okay, but we would ask for a signed release from the office where you had the procedure done.

Our foremost concern is successful patient outcomes. We won’t accept your case if you’re not a good candidate. Always follow your dentist’s recommendation. If they think you need to have your wisdom teeth removed, take care of that first. Then Strayt can take care of your alignment for you.

It’s possible in most cases. Implants will not move like natural teeth so this is information we collect form our patients before we begin the treatment planning process.

It’s possible. Our orthodontists will use your photos and scan data to make a determination. As always, you pay nothing if you are not a good candidate.

A little, probably. We use advanced thermoplastic polymers that are proven to minimize discomfort for the wearer. However, some discomfort is normal for most patients during orthodontic treatment. The anti-inflammatory red light therapy in our StraytVIBES™ device will minimize discomfort.

It’s not unsafe, but we want you to be aware that pregnancy can cause your teeth to shift, which means you could need new impressions and aligners. Some people find aligning uncomfortable during pregnancy. We recommend waiting until you’re not pregnant to get Strayt.

Visit www.straytteeth.com and use the ‘book your scan’ button to register for your scan appointment consultation. The scan specialist nearest you will contact you to confirm the details of your appointment.

Whether your place or ours, the best place is wherever you feel most comfortable. A private office, cubicle space, conference room, or even a break room at work are all ideal settings. We're happy to come to your home too. Or, if those options don't work for you, we can schedule the scan at one of our partner locations.

Yes, and no. We’ll take the needed clinical pictures during your scan appointment. When confirming your scan appointment, your scan specialist will ask you to text or email them a basic smile selfie to help them identify any obvious conditions that might prevent you from being a candidate for clear aligner therapy.

No. Unlike do-it-yourself impressions, scans are:
   • Fast. About one fifth the time of self-impressions
   • Comfortable
   • Accurate
   • Done by a professional
   • Not stressful. No worrying you did it wrong. No watching a stopwatch every step of the way

Yes. We’ll send you a treatment plan preview.

We don’t charge for your scan. A $98 credit card hold confirms the appointment. The credit card hold will be released after your appointment and you will not be charged. 

While there is no charge for the scan, we reserve the right to charge $98 for no-shows. That is one reason why require a credit card pre-authorization to confirm the scan. The second reason is for the safety of our scan specialists. Unfortunately, there are some weirdos out there. 

We accept FSA and HSA card payments. If your dental plan provides orthodontic benefits, you may be reimbursed directly from your insurance company after purchasing your aligners. We don’t accept direct payment from insurance companies, but we can get you the forms you need to file your claim. Contact us for more details or to see if you qualify. 

When deciding whether to go with Strayt Clear Aligners (all-day wear) or Strayt Night Aligners™ (10 continuous hours out of every 24 hours) it really comes down to priorities. If completing your treatment quickly is your highest priority, then we recommend the all-day wear option. If you're not in such a hurry and just want the easiest possible experience, the Strayt Night Aligners™ are definitely for you. Strayt Night Aligners™ prescriptions typically take twice as long as all-day wear prescriptions. 

Yes. We’ll send you a treatment plan preview.

Yes. Every treatment plan is overseen and approved by an orthodontist. Many dentists are qualified to administer clear aligner therapy too, but orthodontists specialize in the movement of teeth.

It depends on which options your take, and every case is different. Typical treatment time for our all-day wear aligners is 4-8 months with 6 months being average. Our Strayt Night Aligners™ take about twice as long because you wear them for about half the time each day.

In some cases, yes. But it is rare that we are able to treat a single arch without also making the corresponding movements in the other arch. 

We make your aligners to fit your mouth without getting in your way. It might not be necessary to move your back teeth to get the results you want.

As often as possible. It is important that you follow the instructions provided. For our all-day wear prescription, you should only take your aligners out for eating, cleaning, and drinking liquids other than water. For our Strayt Night Aligners™, you must wear the aligners continuously for a minimum of 10 hours out of every 24 hours. For most people this is in the evening and while they sleep.

We recommend changing your aligners at night before bed.

No office appointments are required with Strayt. However, you should keep your regular cleaning appointment and definitely go and see your dentist if other dental issues arise during your treatment.

Not a big deal. If your aligner gets lost or damaged, you can order a replacement for $99. While you’re waiting for your replacement aligner, wear the previous one so you don’t lose progress. To order a replacement, contact us.

You wear your retainers. This is really important because you want to make sure you keep your teeth in place. For the first two weeks, you’ll need to wear them all the time (except when you eat and drink). After that, you can wear them only while you sleep at night.

Yes. We think straight teeth should be bright and healthy-looking, so we include a premium teeth whitening system with your aligners.

Instructions will be provided to you. We suggest setting up reminders as soon as you receive your aligners.

Yes, it’s fine to keep wearing them unless you’re severely ill or actively vomiting. If you happen to vomit with your aligners in, you should take them out and clean them right away.

For dental emergencies, contact your local dentist or call 911.

Instructions will be provided. Clean them each time your remove them to avoid residue build up. Rinse under cool water, then brush with your toothbrush. NO TOOTHPASTE as it can be abrasive and scratch the aligner. Our whitening foam will also help keep your aligners clean.

Yes. The whitening foam provided can be used up to 4 times per day. It will also help keep your aligners clean and your breath fresh. We don’t recommend using another whitening gel because it could damage your aligners.

Smoking will discolor your aligners, as it does your teeth. We strongly recommend not smoking.

No. You’ll need to remove your aligners if you’re eating or drinking anything other than water.

Please do not move ahead under any circumstances. If you have concerns about your treatment plan is progressing, please contact us.

If you have any concerns at any time, just let us know. If your teeth are not tracking to plan mid-treatment, we may need to re-scan you and provide new aligners. There will be no cost for this as long as you have been following the treatment plan.

Our $1848 price is all-inclusive. It includes your scan appointment, your aligners, your retainers, whitening foam, retainer case, and the best customer support in the industry.

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) as well as FSA and HSA debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, & Discover).

Yes. Our two payment plan options are easily the best in the industry. There are no pre-approvals or credit applications required:
   • 12 month plan: $199 down and $154/month for 12 months.
   • 24 month plan: $248 down then $84/month for 24 months.

We don’t charge for your scan. A $98 credit card hold confirms the appointment. The credit card hold will be released after your appointment and you will not be charged. The pre-authorization helps prevent no-shows and helps  ensure the safety of our scan techs.

If your dental plan provides orthodontic benefits you may be reimbursed directly from your insurance company after purchasing your aligners. We don’t accept direct payment from insurance companies, but we can get you the forms you need to file your claim. Contact us for more details and to see if you qualify.

Yes, you can use your HSA/FSA debit card like you would any other credit card. If you don’t have a debit card for your plan, give us a call and we’ll help you process your payment.

You can only use one promo code at a time on your order.

Yes! Strayt is an eligible orthodontist service for FSA plans.

If your account is tied to a major debit card, we can take payment upfront using your card. If not, we’ll help you with your reimbursement receipt after you pay for your aligners.

Yes. Just use your major credit/debit card associated with your FSA to pay for your treatment. Then, if you have qualifying orthodontic coverage included in your dental plan, we’ll help you with your insurance claim form to get the proper reimbursement.

If you are not a candidate, you pay nothing.

We recommend checking with your FSA provider to get that info, as each carrier is different.

We recommend that you double check to see how much you have in your FSA. If you need to split the payment between your FSA and another card, we can manually process your order over the phone.

Currently, Strayt is only available in the contiguous U.S.

We encourage you to invite friends or family members to join you at your scan appointment. We can scan them too right then and there. There is no cost or obligation to them to proceed with treatment, but if they do, both of you will receive a discount off your treatment.

Yes. If you’ve recently made changes to your mouth that might change your eligibility for Strayt, we can re-evaluate your case. Book a scan and we’ll take a look.

Soreness means teeth are moving so some soreness is a good thing. If you lifted weights for the first time without some soreness, you probably didn’t lift hard enough and thus won’t see any results. Tylenol should take care of it. If not, give us a call.

It’s normal to feel some soreness for a few days when you start wearing a new aligner. It will typically subside fairly quickly. Tylenol will help in the meantime.
