GO Simple FAQs
Find answers to common questions about your GO Simple treatment journey
Treatment Basics
How long does GO Simple treatment take?
Most patients complete treatment within 6–12 months, depending on how minor or moderate their corrections are. This timeline is directly referenced in the GO Simple system overview (page 7).
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
Wear aligners 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss. This requirement is listed in the Plan for Success instructions (page 9).
Do I have to come into the office for checkups?
No routine checkups are required with GO Simple. However, optional in-office treatment check-ins are available for $198 if you want a progress review.
When should I switch to the next aligner?
You’ll move to the next aligner every week, keeping the new set in for at least 12 continuous hours after switching.
Issues & Costs
What do I do if I lose an aligner?
Replacement aligners are available for $150 per stage.
What happens if my aligners stop fitting properly?
Schedule a Refinement Scan for $398 to get back on track.
Can I switch to GO Traditional?
Yes — you may upgrade at any time as outlined in the Additional Services section (page 6). Treatment cost depends on complexity and time remaining.
