Professionals Behind Your Smile
BASMA clear aligner treatment is planned and supervised by dental professionals, with support from your first clinic scan to your final aligner. Your journey includes an in-clinic consultation, dental checkup, 3D scan, dental photos, a 3D smile preview, custom aligners, app check-ins, and clinic visits when clinically needed.
Straightening your teeth is a medical decision, not just a cosmetic one. That is why BASMA combines smart digital tools with human clinical oversight, so your treatment is designed around your teeth, your bite, your goals, and your daily life.
Who monitors your BASMA clear aligner treatment?
Your BASMA clear aligner treatment is reviewed and monitored by experienced dental professionals, with orthodontist-led planning and support throughout your journey.
Every smile is different. Before treatment begins, your case is assessed to check whether clear aligners may be suitable for your teeth. This includes reviewing your dental checkup, 3D scan, dental photos, and smile goals.
If you are a good candidate, your treatment plan is created to guide how your teeth should move over time. You will also receive a 3D smile preview, so you can see the planned direction of your smile before moving forward.
Your progress is then followed through the BASMA app, with photo check-ins and support from the BASMA care team. If your case needs in-person attention at any stage, clinic visits can be arranged.
What happens before your aligners are made?
Before your aligners are made, BASMA needs to understand your teeth, bite, and oral health.
Your journey usually includes:
| Step | What happens | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | You visit a BASMA partner clinic or BASMA location | A dental professional checks your smile and discusses your goals |
| Dental checkup | Your teeth and oral health are assessed | Clear aligners are only suitable when your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment |
| 3D scan | A digital scan captures your teeth | This helps create a precise digital model of your smile |
| Dental photos | Photos are taken for clinical review | Photos help the team assess your case from different angles |
| Treatment planning | Your smile movement is planned | Your aligners are designed to move your teeth step by step |
| 3D smile preview | You see the planned result before starting | This helps you understand the proposed treatment direction |
This process helps the BASMA team decide whether aligners are appropriate for your case. Some smiles may need a different orthodontic approach, and that is why a professional assessment is important.
How do BASMA orthodontists plan your smile?
BASMA’s orthodontic team uses your scan, photos, and clinical information to plan how your teeth may move during treatment.
The goal is not only to make teeth look straighter. A responsible treatment plan also considers your bite, spacing, crowding, tooth movement limits, and overall oral health.
Your custom aligners are then produced according to your approved treatment plan. Each aligner is designed to guide your teeth gradually. You will usually wear each set for the period recommended in your plan, depending on your case and clinical instructions.
Treatment length varies from person to person. It depends on your starting position, the complexity of your case, how consistently you wear your aligners, and whether refinements are needed.
How does BASMA monitor your progress?
BASMA monitors your progress through app check-ins, progress photos, care team support, and clinic visits when needed.
During treatment, you will be asked to upload progress photos through the BASMA app after every aligner step. These photos help the team check whether your teeth are tracking as expected.
Your check-ins may help identify questions such as:
- Are your aligners fitting properly?
- Are your teeth moving according to the plan?
- Do you need guidance on wear time or aligner fit?
- Could refinements be needed later in treatment?
You can also contact the BASMA care team if you have questions or concerns. This support matters because aligner treatment works best when you follow your plan closely and raise concerns early.
Can you contact the BASMA team during treatment?
Yes. BASMA supports you throughout your clear aligner treatment, not only at the beginning.
You can contact the BASMA care team through the app for guidance during your journey. If your question needs clinical input, the team can help direct it appropriately.
This is especially helpful if:
- An aligner feels unusually tight or loose
- You are unsure whether your aligner is fitting correctly
- You missed wear time and need guidance
- You have discomfort that worries you
- You think your teeth are not tracking as expected
Mild pressure can be normal when you start a new aligner, but strong pain, gum problems, broken aligners, or unusual symptoms should be reviewed by a qualified dental professional.
Who are the professionals behind BASMA?
BASMA was founded with a clear belief: people deserve clear aligner treatment that is convenient, modern, and clinically guided.
Dr. Cherif Massoud, BASMA’s founder and head orthodontist, helped build BASMA’s orthodontic approach around professional planning, digital tools, and ongoing support. The wider BASMA team includes experienced dental professionals and a care team who help patients move through treatment with clarity and confidence.
Not every smile can be planned the same way. That is why BASMA cases are reviewed individually, and why treatment decisions should be based on clinical assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all promise.
Is BASMA treatment fully remote?
No. BASMA uses a hybrid care model. Your journey includes in-clinic steps such as consultation, dental checkup, 3D scan, and dental photos, along with digital support through the BASMA app. Clinic visits may also be needed during treatment, depending on your case.
This gives you the flexibility of modern aligner care while keeping professional oversight at the centre of your treatment.

What happens after your final aligner?
After your final aligner, retainers help maintain your new smile position.
Teeth can naturally shift after orthodontic treatment. Retainers are designed to help keep your teeth in place after your aligner plan is complete. Your BASMA team will guide you on retainer wear based on your case.
Skipping retainers can increase the risk of relapse, meaning your teeth may start moving back towards their previous positions.
