Smile Share by Dynaflex: A Clear Path to a Straighter Smile

Have you put off straightening your teeth because you don’t want a mouth full of metal? You’re not alone, and you have options. At Freels Orthodontics, Dr. Chris Freels offers Smile Share in McAllen, TX, giving teens and adults a nearly invisible way to correct crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth. With clear, removable aligners and a treatment plan built around your goals, you can improve your smile without putting your life on hold.

What Is Smile Share by Dynaflex?

Smile Share uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into better positions. You wear each set for about one to two weeks before switching to the next, and every tray is designed to make small, precise adjustments. Over time, those small movements add up to a straighter, healthier smile.

Clear aligners can address crowding, spacing, mild to moderate overbites and underbites, and crossbites. During your consultation, Dr. Freels will let you know whether aligners are the best fit for your needs or whether braces may give you better results.

5 Reasons Patients Love Smile Share

1. It’s discreet. The clear aligners are hard to notice, so you can smile confidently at work, school, and social events.
2. You can eat what you like. Simply remove your aligners at mealtime, so there’s no list of foods to avoid.
3. Cleaning is easy. Take your aligners out to brush and floss normally, which helps keep your teeth and gums healthy during treatment.
4. It’s comfortable. Smooth plastic aligners don’t have brackets or wires that can irritate your cheeks and lips.
5. It fits busy schedules. With no wires to adjust, many patients need fewer and shorter office visits.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your Consultation

Your journey begins with a free consultation at our office on Buddy Owens Avenue. Dr. Freels will examine your teeth, review digital images, and talk with you about your goals. If Smile Share is a good match, he’ll map out your tooth movements step by step so you can see how your smile is expected to change.

Wearing Your Aligners

For the best results, plan to wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. You’ll visit our office periodically so Dr. Freels can check your progress and provide your next sets of aligners.

After Treatment

Once your teeth reach their new positions, you’ll wear a retainer to keep them there. This important step protects your investment and helps your results last for years to come.

Advanced Technology for Precise Results

Our office invests in modern technology, including computerized digital imaging and radiology, to plan your care with accuracy. These tools give Dr. Freels a detailed view of your teeth and bite, so your Smile Share treatment plan is designed around your unique smile.

Comfort and Care Every Step of the Way

We know your time matters, so we never overbook our schedule. Our friendly, certified team treats every patient like family, and a certified dental assistant is on call after hours if questions come up between visits. You’ll always know what’s happening and why.

Smile Share FAQs

Is Smile Share painful?

Most patients feel mild pressure for a day or two when they start a new set of aligners. That pressure is a sign your teeth are moving, and it typically fades quickly.

How long does Smile Share treatment take?

Treatment time varies from case to case. Many patients finish in about 12 to 18 months, and Dr. Freels will give you a personalized estimate at your consultation.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. If your plan includes orthodontic coverage, we can bill it for you. We also offer flexible, interest-free payment plans to fit your budget.
