How does it work?

Although the details may differ from person to person, the journey ahead is one that has been tried, tested, and trusted by many. Take the time to understand what comes next and prepare yourself for each step with confidence.

How Mia Aligners works
Step 1

Make the first move:

Your first consultation includes a clinical exam by one of our experienced dentists/orthodontists as well as X-rays, photos and a 3D scan.

You may require further x-rays from an external radiographer if your treatment is deemed to be complex.

Initial cost estimation (this is subject to change depending on the complexity of the treatment plan).

How Mia Aligners works
Step 2

Treatment Planning:

If you're happy with the estimate and choose to proceed we will send your scans to our specialist orthodontists.

Our esteemed orthodontics team will create a detailed treatment plan with a 3D simulation showing how your teeth will move.

The plan will take around 1 week and you'll get to take a good look at the digital simulation before finally agreeing to the treatment.

Step 3

Wearing Your Aligners:

Your first set of 8 clear aligners are manufactured and shipped to your doorstep.

Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat and drink.

Expect some mild discomfort, described as pressure, which is manageable and not distracting.

Insert your new sets every 2 weeks, follow-up appointments every 4 months.

Keep them clean, put them in before you sleep, see our FAQs for more.

FAQs

Mia Aligners Frequently Asked Questions

Aligners are very thin, clear, films of plastic that fit closely around teeth. Using gradual pressure, they eventually move your teeth into the desired position.

Aligner treatments are often known for being costly, but at Mia, we’ve made them more accessible. By managing both the treatment planning and manufacturing locally, we’re able to offer high-quality aligner solutions at a reduced cost. Treatment plans start from just R19,000, making it an affordable alternative for a straighter smile.

This is specific to each person and number of teeth that need to be moved. Each set of aligners is worn for an average of 2 weeks and can be anywhere from 10 weeks to a year.

No, it is not painful. The aligners are designed to be comfortable and are made of a smooth plastic.

It is crucial that the new position of your teeth is maintained with each new set of aligners! Therefore, the aligners must be worn for 22 hours of every day. But they must be taken out when eating, drinking or brushing your teeth.

No, your aligners must be taken out when eating, drinking or brushing your teeth.

Mia Clear Aligners are unlikely to affect your speech. Our aligners are made from a very thin PET-G plastic, which means that there should be minimal impact on your speech. Studies done on other leading aligner brands show that 93% of patients have no affects on their speech. If you have a big presentation coming up however, stress less, because you can just take your aligners out as long as you put them straight back in after.

Central Cost Orthodontics has a great article on this topic. Read this article on braces vs aligners for a good synopsis to help you make an informed decision.

With my boys school schedules and hubby's, getting them to the dentist for the check ups, has been difficult. With Mia Healthcare however, that is no longer difficult as they come to you which is most convenient. Dr Essop is absolutely friendly, thorough and amazing. She explains everything in detail after the consult. Best at home dentistry service.

I recently had the pleasure of using Mia Dental services on campus, and I can't recommend them highly enough! The team was incredibly friendly, making the whole experience comfortable and welcoming.
One of the standout benefits was how convenient it was to have dental services right on campus. This made it so much easier for our students, significantly reducing the time spent away from classes.
Overall, Mia Dental combines professionalism with a friendly approach, making dental care accessible and stress-free. I'm grateful for their services and look forward to them returning in 6 months.

The Mia team are nothing short of exceptional! I am doing my clear aligner treatment with them, which is so much better than braces. It has been seamless, with great care taken to make sure that my perfect smile is on track. They are friendly, and Dr Soni and their Orthodontist and technician are highly skilled. The best part of all is that they are mobile and come to wherever you are, and it is still so much more affordable than other brands. They are just a message away for any advice needed. I would highly recommend them for all your dental needs!

Called in for an emergency treatment and was recommended by the hotel of this service with a mobile dental studio on a Friday late afternoon. Dr. Soni was absolutely wonderful as she explained in detail what she was doing and made a repair to my broken crown. I can thoroughly recommend her service and learned that she also does fillings, cleaning (hygienist) and so on. The great thing is she comes to you and carries out the treatment in the comfort of your hotel / premises. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Dr. Soni, you were wonderful!
