Top 4 Best At-Home Teeth Straightening Kits

At SmileDirectClub you can skip the orthodontist visit altogether! Their clear aligners let you straighten your teeth on your schedule, from the comfort of your own home. You’ll be assigned a duly licensed dentist or orthodontist. He or she will check in with you every 90 days through your customer account and monitor your progress remotely. With just 3 easy steps you can align your teeth cheaply and efficiently. First, they’ll make a 3D image of your teeth to see exactly what's going on and align your smile. There are two easy ways to make a 3D image: you can visit a SmileShop for a scan of your smile, or SmileDirect can build it from the impression you take using their at-home impression kit. Your 3D smile is reviewed by a duly licensed dentist or orthodontist, who will guide your new smile from beginning to end. The entire treatment plan lasts, on average, 6 months. 

Next, they’ll send you a preview of your new smile showing how your smile will transform. It’s time to begin production of your clear aligners which will be as unique to you as a fingerprint. The at-home teeth straightening kit that will guide your teeth into alignment will be delivered right to your door. They also send premium teeth whitening so you can show off those pearly whites. And finally, after checking with your doctor and completing treatment, you can purchase a set of retainers for $99. Wear them at night to keep your new smile in place. Feel free to order touch-up whitening treatments any time.

SmileDirectClub has two easy ways to pay for your treatment. You can either make a one-time, single payment of $1895 (which is around 60% cheaper than other invisible braces companies). Or, you can use their easy and convenient SmilePay option. This option allows you to slowly pay off your aligners for just $85 a month!

Candid is unique in that it has Candid Studios across the country where you can begin your teeth straightening process, however, they also allow you to order your at-home teeth straightening starter kit and take impressions of your teeth yourself. Once Candid gets your impressions, they will send you an interactive 3D model of your teeth straightening over time so you can see exactly how your specific aligners will work. Then they’ll deliver your complete set of clear aligners straight to your door!

Candid offers a one-time payment of $1900 or a monthly payment of $88 a month. Both payment options, for no extra cost, include the entire teeth straightening kit, premium whitening treatment, and a set of retainers.
