Want a straighter smile?  Get our comparison on the best invisible teeth straightening options that are faster and more affordable than traditional metal braces.  

What Are Invisible Aligners?

Adults and kids alike have always wanted that perfect smile with straight and aligned teeth.  While metal braces were the most common solution in previous years, in 2021 there are a number of revolutionary and convenient at-home teeth straightening options.  Companies such as Byte, Smile Direct Club, and Wonder Smile have revolutionized the teeth straightening market. 

The new direct-to-consumer companies provide faster treatment times at prices that are much cheaper than traditional braces.   

We have compared the top companies to help you in your teeth straightening journey.   

Invisible aligners are great alternative to traditional metal braces for teeth straightening.  Compared to traditional braces that can be quite costly and required repeated visits to your orthodontist or dentist, clear aligners such as those from Byte and Smile Direct Club that allow you to straighten teeth using a set of custom-aligners that move your teeth using a clear plastic aligner.  

This way you can avoid having metal braces in your pictures and can also avoid many of the traditional pain points associated with metal braces.  There are currently many companies that offer clear aligners.  

We recommend that you select your invisible aligners based on the optimal balance of treatment time, price, customer service, and impression kit. 

Impression Kit

One of the first steps to starting your teeth straightening process is with an at-home impression kit that allows for a trained professional to determine your optimal treatment plan.  These impressions kits are typically in the $40-$80 range and comes with an impression tray, molding putty, putty gloves, smile stretcher, and a pre-paid shipping label.  Fortunately companies such as Byte have been running limited-time special offers that allow you to get you impression kit for just $24.99. 

Treatment Time

In terms of treatment time, Byte has the fastest treatment time of 3-4 months as a result of its HyperByte technology which uses HVF (high frequency vibrations) to straighten your teeth faster.  With most other companies such as Smile Direct Club and WonderSmile, you will typically see treatment times closer to 4-6 months. 

Price

In terms of price, all the options are much more affordable than traditional braces that can cost upwards of $5000.  Fortunately, from a pricing standpoint all of these are comparable, and ultimately one should not be too worried about price given the long-term importance of straight smile. 

Customer Support

With any treatment, having access to top-quality customer support is important.  We found that Byte, Smile Direct Club, and WonderSmile all had fantastic response times and extremely helpful support specials. 

Our Recommendation:

While we found all of these as great teeth straightening options relative to traditional braces, we recommend Byte as the #1 choice for invisible braces.  The combination of an affordable, convenient at-home impression kit along with the 3-4 month treatment time from its HyperByte technology make it an optimal choice.  The company is running a limited time special on its impression kit for only $24.95.
