Invisible braces, also known as clear aligners, are a great alternative to traditional metal braces. They are practically invisible, comfortable to wear, and can be used to slowly change the position of your teeth over time. With so many brands to choose from, it can be hard to know which clear aligners are the best. Our favorites include Invisalign, NewSmile, Candid and Byte, but there are also plenty of others to choose from.
SmileDirectClub (SDC) was one of the first companies to offer clear day and night aligners for a fraction of the cost of braces. ALIGNERCO is another great option if you're looking for an affordable solution. They don't invest as much in marketing and pass the savings on to their customers. ALIGNERCO also offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee that includes free upgrades if needed.
NewSmile is another brand that stands out from the crowd with its diverse treatment options and helpful customer support. They offer a single arch treatment for upper or lower teeth only, as well as a nighttime treatment only. Plus, they have a money-back guarantee if you're not a suitable candidate. Byte is known for its HyperByte technology which can reduce treatment time to just 3 months in some cases.
They also offer a Byte-for-Life guarantee which means you'll get free adjustments if your teeth start to move again. Invisalign is another popular choice for those looking for invisible aligners. In addition to their removable and invisible nature, these devices are almost more similar to traditional appliances than to household options. Invisalign uses SmartForce accessories that allow for more precise corrections than other clear aligners. No matter which brand you choose, make sure you review the pros and cons of all of the clear aligner options and see a dentist for a professional opinion.
If you prefer to have your clear aligner treatment administered by a dental professional, see your dentist to find out if Invisalign might be a good option. Clear aligners may not work for complex corrections of problems such as large gaps, so it's important to consult with your dentist before making any decisions.
