Is SmileLove the same thing or comparable to Invisalign? If I use SmileLove, can I avoid going to the orthodontist? We explain the details below.

Since its debut, Invisalign has been the most popular way to treat crooked teeth, underbites, overbites, and other orthodontic issues. Invisalign aligners are clear and allow patients to achieve healthy smiles without metal brackets or wires.

Best of all, Invisalign aligners are comfortable. They can be removed for everyday activities like eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Although treatment time varies from patient to patient, most patients can enjoy straight teeth in about 12 months.

Recently, startups like SmileLove and Candid have popped up. In 2020, more and more people are searching for DIY or stay at home options for their teeth. SmileLove claims that they make orthodontic treatment so easy so that patients can live their lives. They send patients an impression kit so they can make molds of their teeth at home. Once the SmileLove team receives the impression, they’ll create a treatment plan and start creating the aligners. Every two weeks, they’ll send patients new aligners until their teeth have straightened out.

SmileLove states that their clear aligners are ideal for patients who want to fix their teeth but are worried about the cost and commitment. While SmileLove seems like a great alternative to Invisalign, it can actually end up costing you more money and headaches.

SmileLove does not take the time to really examine your mouth and design a treatment plan that makes sense for your particular situation. They are bombarded with thousands of patients that they never meet in person and simply do not have the time or skill to design the very best treatment plans.
