Let’s explore the first crucial steps in transferring your treatment, beginning with assessing your current orthodontic status.

1) Assessing Your Current Orthodontic Status

Starting off, it’s essential to gauge where you are in your orthodontic treatment:

  • Understanding Your Treatment Stage: Reflect on the stage of treatment you were in with Smile Direct Club. Were you just beginning, midway through, or nearing the end of your aligner journey? This information is crucial for Dr. Bozner and the Camellia Orthodontics team to understand how to best proceed with your care.
  • Identifying Your Specific Orthodontic Needs: Think about any specific concerns or goals you had with your previous treatment. Were there particular issues you hoped to address, like aligning a crooked tooth or correcting your bite?

To ensure that Camellia Orthodontics has all the necessary information to tailor your treatment plan, collecting your dental records from Smile Direct Club is the next vital step. 

2) Collecting Your Dental Records

Gathering your dental records is a crucial step in creating a complete picture of your orthodontic history and current needs:

  • Steps to Obtain Your Smile Direct Club Records: Begin by contacting Smile Direct Club to request your dental records. This might include treatment plans, aligner schedules, and any digital scans or images taken. If you encounter challenges in retrieving these records, don’t worry—Camellia Orthodontics can assist you in navigating this process.
  • Importance of Comprehensive Dental History: Your dental records are a story of your orthodontic journey. They provide invaluable insights into your treatment progress, helping Dr. Bozner and our team at Camellia Orthodontics to craft a treatment plan that picks up right where you left off.

With your records in hand, the next exciting step is choosing the right orthodontic practice to continue your treatment. Up next, we’ll uncover what makes Camellia Orthodontics the ideal choice for your continued orthodontic path.
