Invisalign Customer reviews

It’s one thing to chat with your dentist and look at some before-and-after pictures. But it’s another thing entirely once you’re wearing Invisalign’s aligners. And you might be wondering: what is Invisalign treatment like?

Aside from diving right in, the best way to assess Invisalign’s patient experience is by hearing it from current and former patients. Here’s the problem: unbiased, unsponsored online reviews are scarce. If you’ve spent hours scouring the Internet for verifiable reviews, we’ve got you. This is your go-to source for honest Invisalign reviews. No sponsorship, no actors — just real people and real opinions.

Smile Prep offers readers a small financial incentive in exchange for their unbiased reviews. We require proof of purchase before accepting reviews, and all reviewers must have completed at least three months of aligner treatment. You can learn more (and find out how to submit a review of your own) by checking out our customer review page.

What are teeth gap bands for diastema and are they safe

There you are, staring down a gap between your teeth. You could live with it and still have a great smile—many adults do—but if you’ve decided to get treatment, you’ll probably start surveying your options. A quick glance at the price and timeline of orthodontic treatment might make DIY treatment like teeth gap bands seem appealing, which claim to close gaps in less than 60 days for under $50.

Stop right there. The truth is that gap bands are downright dangerous. This type of DIY treatment can cause irreversible tooth and gum damage, and we don’t even consider it a real teeth straightening option. Don’t listen to the vloggers who swear by them. Instead, read the rest of this guide for an honest look at gap bands and what they can do to your teeth. We’ll also provide some safe alternatives to gap bands that ring up much cheaper than traditional orthodontic treatment.

Best alternatives to Braces Guide

Braces have been around forever, and for good reason: they work. Using metal brackets and wires, they slowly and steadily shift your teeth into place. For many children, it was a rite of passage to show up at school with braces. While they’re incredibly powerful, many adults shy away from brackets and wires, especially if they’ve got work, social gatherings, and dates to attend.

But if not braces, then what? Fortunately, today’s orthodontic and teledentistry technology has opened avenues to new teeth-straightening options. This guide will help you find the one that best fits your condition, timeframe, budget, and priorities.
