Simple aligners are a clear set of aligners that can accomplish similar results to Invisalign at a greatly reduced cost. These aligners can quickly and easily resolve mild to moderate lower incisor crowding. They are popular and effective treatment options for individuals on a limited budget that want straight teeth without braces!
What are simple aligners?
Simple aligners are a series of clear, removable trays that gently correct mild to moderate crowding of the lower front teeth — achieving results similar to Invisalign at a greatly reduced cost.
They're a popular, effective option for patients on a limited budget who want straighter teeth without braces. Because the trays are removable, you eat, brush and floss as you normally would.
