What are the best cases for
NightShift?
The appliance is quite versatile and
can treat many types of cases, though
it’s best for crowded teeth with minimal
spacing issues. If you have lots of
larger spaces between your teeth this is
probably not the right appliance for
you. Also, if you need the position of
your jaws corrected it’s not likely for
you. You can look at some of the cases
that have been treated with the
appliance to get an idea if it will work
for you, but asking your dentist or
orthodontist is the best way to find
out.
What makes NightShift special?
A very unique wire, heat-treated
with a proprietary process has allowed
us to design a patented spring which
delivers very optimal forces for tooth
movement. So optimal in fact, we believe
we have the only appliance on the market
that can move teeth as effectively,
wearing it only at night. Something so
convenient, that works so well, at such
an affordable price is certain to be
attractive to a lot of people who want
straight teeth.
How long should NightShift treatment
take?
This answer depends on several
factors which include the severity of
your case, your age and the amount of
time you choose to wear your appliance
each day. The majority of part-time
cases are being treated in 6 – 12 months
on average with one monthly adjustment.
Bi-weekly adjustments will also speed
things up if that works for you and your
doctor. If nighttime wear is chosen, the
appliance should be worn from at least
early evening until morning, removing
the appliance only to eat and brush.
Wearing them longer on weekends or
whenever possible will help you finish
sooner if you prefer.
How much does NightShift cost?
Cost will depend on the severity of
your case and where you live, though the
fee for NightShift treatment is
typically much less than the cost of
braces or Invisalign. It’s not unusual
to save $2000 or more and still get the
smile you’ve always wanted…conveniently
and in a reasonable amount of time.
Nobody likes to spend more than they
have to.
Is NightShift covered by insurance?
Yes it is. If you have orthodontic
coverage, NightShift should be
covered by your provider and since
reimbursement amounts typically average
around $1500, depending on your case
your out-of-pocket expense could be zero
or at least much more manageable than it
would be with braces or Invisalign.
We’ve even seen it covered under
standard dental insurance as
preventative care because crowded teeth
can lead to periodontal disease or
create other hygiene related issues. You
may want explore this.
Is NightShift difficult to wear or
maintain?
Absolutely not! It is very easy to
insert and remove, which is typically
done to eat and brush. When you brush
your teeth you should also brush your
appliance to keep it clean or you can
purchase an ultra-sonic cleaner or
effervescent cleaning tablets to do the
job for you. Be sure to remove your
appliance with equal pressure on both
sides as not to break anything. It
rarely happens, but it’s better safe
than sorry.
Is NightShift only for adults?
No. It can also be used on children
and adolescents for interceptive
treatments such as eruption guidance and
cross bite correction or as a first
phase orthodontic treatment where
parents understand there is the
possibility of additional treatment
after NightShift if all permanent teeth
are not in. NightShift is regularly used
for affordable esthetic improvement in
younger patients, often for reasons of
self-esteem.
How can I tell if NightShift will
work for me?
A qualified dentist or orthodontist will be able to determine if you're a good candidate. If there are no NightShift providers in your area yet, we'll locate a qualified practitioner for you to meet with or you can do this work yourself and we'll provide you an incentive to do so, assuming we also get the practitioner to participate in the program.
