What are options alternative to braces?

Orthodontists use multiple appliances to straighten teeth and correct the bite. Alternative to braces appliances is commonly know as Invisalign aligners (aka invisalign braces). The Invisalign appliance is one kind of clear aligner system on the market. Alternative to invisalign are customized in-house aligners, ClearCorrect aligners, Suresmile aligners, 3M clarity, and other brands of clear aligners. 

Some patients are looking for an alternative to tradistional bracses that are attached on front surfaces of the teeth yet are not intersted in challenges associated with invisalign aligner trays or in general clear plastic aligners. Ligual braces that bonds behind your teeth are the unqiue and truly invisible options for you if you are in this camp of patients. 

What is SmileDirectClub?

Oral health has changed significantly in the last decades. Advancements in technology and improvements in tele-medicine impacted the traditional braces orthodontic care. Smile Direct Club or SDC was the first company the offers aligner treatment (Invisalign like) orthodontic care through mail services. The process starts with an impression kit.

After you send you records, the company provides you with a treatment plan and you will receive your clear aligners when you approve the care. The main incentive for SDC type treatment is cheap price with multiple payment plans. Candid and byte are other similar products on the market.
