SMILE\-FX / Miramar / Understanding the proposal

# How does included whitening fit a braces plan?

Keep the included benefit visible while understanding the goals, personal directions and arrangements in your own proposal\.

[Return to the position and color lessons](</#alignment-and-color>)

## Start with the included value, then understand your arrangements

Both fixed and removable retainers, plus whitening, are included in SMILE\-FX's offer\. These are included\-care benefits to understand alongside active treatment and the total written proposal\. [SMILE\-FX included\-care information](<https://www.smile-fx.com/other-treatments/>) \.

The practical question is how that included care fits your goals and individual arrangements\. Keep the braces goal and the color priority clear, then ask the team to explain the personal whitening approach and timing in your proposal\.

Orthodontic care can address spacing and bite\.  [MedlinePlus: Orthodontia](<https://medlineplus.gov/orthodontia.html>)  The fictional example below uses a stated space as its movement goal and a separate color preference\.

## Fictional proposal: Nadia's two goals and included care

This original example explains a proposal; it is not a personal recommendation\.

**Braces goal:**  address the recorded space between Nadia's upper front teeth\. **Proposed appliance:**  fixed braces for that goal\.

**Color goal:**  discuss lightening natural tooth color as a separate priority\.

**Included care:**  both fixed and removable retainers, plus whitening\. Personal whitening arrangements will be explained separately\.

**Personal directions:**  the orthodontic team has supplied “Nadia's appliance\-care directions,” version 2, dated 16 June, for the proposed appliance\.

## What the proposal means for Nadia

A filled reading of Nadia's proposal

| Part of the proposal | The useful meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Braces goal and appliance | The upper\-front space is the stated movement focus, connected to the fixed braces being proposed\. |
| Color goal | Nadia has also raised a separate preference about natural\-tooth color\. |
| Included care and directions | The benefits are itemized\. Her appliance directions are identified, while the personal whitening arrangements have their own discussion\. |

Nadia can discuss the space and proposed braces together, then turn to her color goal and the included benefit\. The proposal gives her a useful basis for understanding each part without having to infer a whitening routine from the appliance directions\.

## Connect the offer with your own priorities

In your consultation, ask the team to explain how the proposed treatment and included care relate to what matters to you\. Your written proposal is the place to understand individual suitability, timing, the whitening approach and the arrangements included for you\. The general offer establishes the benefit, not those personal details\.
