How Smileie’s Scan Centers Help Create Custom Clear Aligners Just for You

A perfect smile starts with precision. At Smileie, we believe that the success of your teeth straightening journey depends on how accurately we capture the details of your teeth and bite. This is where our dental scan centers play a crucial role. By using advanced 3D scanning technology, we ensure your clear aligners are made to fit your teeth perfectly, making your treatment effective, comfortable, and truly personalised.
If you’ve been considering clear aligners but are wondering what happens after your initial consultation, this guide will walk you through how our scan centers work and why they are an essential step in your Smileie journey.
Step 1: Starting With an E-Consultation
Before you even step into one of our scan centers, your journey begins with a simple step, booking your e-consultation. This online consultation helps our dental professionals understand your smile goals, review your teeth condition, and determine whether you are a good candidate for our teeth straightening treatment.
Once our experts review your case, we will guide you to the nearest Smileie dental scan center for an in-person scan if you’re eligible. This ensures we can plan your treatment with complete accuracy right from the start.
Step 2: Visiting a Smileie Dental Scan Center
When you arrive at one of our dental scan centers, our trained professionals will welcome you and explain the process in detail so you know exactly what to expect. The goal here is simple, to capture a detailed 3D image of your teeth without any discomfort.
Unlike traditional dental impressions that require biting into messy putty, Smileie uses modern 3D scanning equipment. This means:
-
No unpleasant taste or gagging
-
Fast and accurate results
-
Immediate visual feedback of your smile on screen
The scan takes only a few minutes but provides an incredibly precise digital model of your teeth and bite. This is the foundation for creating custom clear aligners tailored to your unique needs.
Why Accurate Scans Matter for Clear Aligners
Clear aligners work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to shift your teeth into the desired position over time. For this to happen effectively, every aligner must fit your teeth perfectly at each stage of your treatment.
If the initial scan is even slightly inaccurate, it could lead to:
-
Poor aligner fit
-
Delayed treatment progress
-
Unnecessary discomfort
By using advanced scanning technology in our dental scan centers, we eliminate these risks. Every Smileie aligner is designed based on your actual tooth structure, ensuring a smooth and predictable teeth straightening process.
Step 3: Turning Your Scan Into a Custom Treatment Plan
After your scan, the data is sent to our dental professionals who create a 3D simulation of your smile transformation. This allows you to see a preview of how your teeth will move and what your final smile could look like.
Once you approve the plan, we use the scan data to manufacture a complete set of clear aligners designed specifically for you. Each aligner is slightly different, guiding your teeth closer to their ideal position week by week.

Comfort and Convenience at Every Step
We understand that convenience matters. That’s why we’ve set up our scan centers at easily accessible locations across the UK. You only need to visit us once for the initial scan; after that, your aligners are shipped directly to your door. This saves you multiple dental visits and fits into your lifestyle without disrupting your schedule.
Our dental scan centers are designed to make you feel comfortable and at ease, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning for a check.
