Dr Nicole Haydt

Dr Nicole Haydt, an ABO-Board certified orthodontist, entrepreneur, and founder of SCAND Orthodontic Studio, a modern orthodontic practice built around personalized, doctor-led care using the latest digital technology. Although she grew up in California and completed all of her training there, she was born in Sweden and raised with Swedish values. Her perspective to orthodontics, and many things in life, is that slowing down and zooming out can often give you the insight you need to be more efficient and produce better outcomes. She is passionate about creating beautiful smiles while proving that healthcare can be both highly personal and thoughtfully designed.


Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

  • Learn why Invisalign itself does not design your final result and how much the orthodontist’s treatment plan matters.
  • Uncover how Dr. Nicole Haydt approaches complex Invisalign cases that other providers may consider unsuitable for clear aligners.
  • Find out why some patients may benefit from combining Invisalign with a small section of braces or another orthodontic appliance.
  • Explore how personal goals can change an orthodontic treatment plan, even when two patients both say they simply want straight teeth.
  • Get a clearer picture of what daily life with Invisalign actually involves, including eating, drinking, soreness, and keeping up with aligners.
  • Understand why correcting certain difficult tooth movements first can potentially make the rest of treatment more efficient.
  • Hear how digital scans and visual planning tools help patients understand their bite, tooth wear, and possible treatment outcomes.
  • Discover how fewer office visits and more detailed digital planning could shape the future of orthodontic care.

In this episode…

What if the biggest Invisalign mistake happens before you ever put in your first aligner? Many patients assume Invisalign is responsible for designing their smile, but the treatment is actually driven by the orthodontist creating and managing the plan. So how much does choosing the right provider really influence your experience and outcome?


Dr. Nicole Haydt explains why not every patient means the same thing when they ask for straight teeth, how she adjusts treatment around individual goals, and when Invisalign may work better alongside braces or another appliance. She also shares how she approaches difficult movements such as rotated teeth and impacted canines, and why solving the hardest part of a case first can sometimes make the rest of treatment much more straightforward.



In this episode of Beauty Talk, host Daniel Gouw interviews Dr. Nicole Haydt, a board certified orthodontist and founder of SCAND Orthodontic Studio in Orange, California. Dr. Haydt brings a doctor led, digitally planned approach to personalized orthodontic care. They discuss Invisalign treatment planning, combination treatments, patient education, digital scanning, treatment efficiency, and the changing future of orthodontics. Tune in to learn how to make informed choices about your health, beauty, and well-being.
