Mobile Orthodontic Service Takes Hassle Out Of Treatments

BRANDON, FL -- Those who dread the regular visits to the orthodontist now have an alternative. There's a new mobile concierge orthodontic service that comes to you.

Swanky Smiles has expanded to Florida to offer adults and children an efficient, convenient mobile healthcare experience. Swanky Smiles drives state-of-the-art mobile clinics to a patient’s home or desired location for one-on-one appointments with doctors seven days a week, 12 hours a day.

Swanky Smiles offers treatment exclusively via Invisalign clear, removable aligners, which can treat the majority of cases and offer the same outcomes as traditional methods, with each aligner designed by some of the top Invisalign-producing orthodontists in the country. Clear, removable aligners offer patients significantly more comfort, better appearance, easier dental hygiene and no restrictions on eating and chewing.

An initial appointment with Swanky Smiles includes a 3D scan of a patient’s teeth and a digital model of a current and future smile projected on a screen. Florida residents are also eligible to enter an online contest to win the retail value of $5,990 in Invisalign treatment. For information, click here.

The $11 billion traditional orthodontics industry has remained largely unchanged for the past 30 years, with doctors seeing up to 100 patients per day for only minutes. The typical orthodontic practice primarily offers traditional bracket and wire treatment methods, doing less than 50 Invisalign cases per year. Since launching in October 2017, Swanky Smiles is now available in 31 markets across the country and on track to treat up to 2,500 patients per month in 80 markets by the end of 2018.

Dr. Chris Freeman, chief clinical officer and co-founder of Swanky Smiles, saw a shift in the orthodontics industry during his 15 years of practice. Rather than focusing on techniques and treatment methods, he believes the focus became systems, products and maximizing the number of patients seen in a day, while the patients’ best interests fell by the wayside. This shift drove his desire to change the age-old approach to orthodontics and design a new model placing the patients’ needs first.

“Swanky Smiles was created because the way orthodontics is traditionally done is upside down,” said Freeman. "I became an orthodontist because I wanted to make patients happy, not because I wanted to operate a factory. This herding of patients had to be stopped. We designed our process to focus solely on the patients’ needs, time, convenience and comfort. Now we fit seamlessly into our patients’ lives, rather than interrupting theirs.”

Swanky Smiles offers flat, transparent pricing of $5,990 with industry-leading guarantees and no interest in-house financing for a cost of $3 per day. Patients can receive $1,000 off by paying in full prior to starting treatment or opt for a monthly financing option without interest.

Although every case is unique, typically patients will achieve their dream smile in six appointments over a 12- to 18-month period. Traditional bracket and wire treatments usually require two or more years of treatment and around 20 appointments. Swanky Smiles offers a five-year Smile Guarantee - patients unhappy with their smile within the first five years of enrollment can be treated again for free. After treatment, patients receive 10 sets of retainers, an $800 value, and a complementary whitening kit.

In Florida, Swanky Smiles now services patients in Brandon, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Pensacola, Sarasota, Tampa and West Palm Beach.
