You may have seen advertisements for teeth straightening via mail-order clear aligners that claim to be similar to Invisalign®. They may seem cheap and convenient, but rarely do they give you the great results you can get from a professional dentist.
Are you less than thrilled with your smile? Do you ever find yourself holding back your smile? Are you worried getting your invisible aligners from a professional dentist will be too expensive of a teeth straightening option?
We want to be straightforward and honest with you about this treatment option so that you can be comfortable in making this decision. This is why we offer FREE Invisalign Consultations for your teeth straightening.

Invisalign Braces: Why You Should Probably Not Use Mail Order Aligners
In fact, your dentist may have to work with your teeth to fix what mail-order teeth aligners can do! These aligners, like byte aligners or Smile Direct, can mess up your bite and alignment more than when you started.
They also won’t be available to address your specific dental concerns. Just consider the collapse of Smile Direct as an example, where patients were left without care when the company went under.
Instead, Reflections Dental Spa offers high-quality Invisalign. We are capable of giving you an amazing, straight smile the right way under the supervision of a caring, experienced dentist like Dr. Thomas. Come in today to learn more.
Top 5 Reasons to Trust a Professional and Avoid DIY Kits
Here are five reasons why we recommend Invisalign braces and why you should probably not use mail-order aligners.
Mail-Order Teeth Aligners Could End Up Costing You More
You may need to pay for separate X-rays, scans, or impressions of your teeth. Separate scans or impressions can be costly, especially if your insurance does not cover them.
Even though mail-order teeth aligners, like the byte aligners or Smile Direct, may look cost-effective or simple, they could end up costing you more than Invisalign because you may end up with poor results. You might be left to fix it yourself.
Your Teeth Aligner Impressions May Be Faulty
Without professional supervision, taking your own impressions can be dangerous. This can lead to a defective clear aligner, an aligner that is uncomfortable, or an aligner that moves your teeth into the improper position. Since there is no dentist there to guide you when you are taking your impressions, the likelihood of one of these issues being a problem is pretty high.
Faulty impressions may also lengthen the time to get your teeth aligners. If they notice that you sent a faulty impression, you may have to wait for the materials to arrive to send another one and wait longer for them to make your aligners. At Reflections Dental Spa, we can make your impressions quickly and make your clear teeth aligners fit you comfortably with a shorter treatment time.
Your Treatment May Not Be Properly Adjusted or Monitored
One of the best things about coming to Reflections Dental Spa in San Ramon, California, is our quality of care. We closely monitor your teeth straightening journey, making adjustments so your treatment is comfortable and effective.
If you choose to use mail-order companies like Smile Direct or Byte aligners, your treatment may not be properly adjusted and monitored throughout its course. If you don’t have regular checkups, your treatment may be slower than needed. This can also lead to a smile that you’re not happy with or other dental issues, such as crowded teeth, that create more office visits for you.
Mail-Order Technology Is Outdated
While accessible, mail-order orthodontic treatment, like Smile Direct or byte aligners, significantly lacks the cutting-edge technology and personalized care that professional dental practices offer.
At Reflections Dental Spa, we use Smile Design and high-quality impressions to meticulously craft a treatment plan that is uniquely yours. Our advanced dental technology allows us to make precise adjustments to meet your unique aesthetic and functional smile needs.
This is different from generic mail-order services. Our focus is on providing personalized care that is tailored specifically to you. We strive to ensure that you receive the best possible results for your smile.
Our approach is about more than just straightening your teeth. It’s about crafting a smile that enhances your confidence and quality of life. So, to get the best teeth straightening results, start with your FREE Invisalign consultation today!
Clear Braces May Not Work for Everyone
Clear braces may not be for everyone. This is especially true if you struggle with wearing night-time retainers or maintaining good oral hygiene habits. Getting mail-order aligners can be dangerous if clear aligners aren’t what your teeth need. That’s why it’s so important to get your FREE teeth straightening consultation with a professional Invisalign dentist.
Can Mail-Order Aligners Mess Up My Bite?
The question of whether mail-order aligners can mess up your bite is a valid concern that many patients have. Indeed, many of these teeth aligners, like the Smile Direct and Byte aligners, can have a negative impact.
Reflections Dental Spa takes a comprehensive approach by considering not just the alignment of your teeth but also your bite. Mail-order aligners, on the other hand, lack this personalized and detailed assessment. As a result, there’s a risk that your bite might recede or move forward during treatment, potentially leading to complications or discomfort.
Correcting such issues after they’ve occurred can be both challenging and costly. This is precisely why we recommend Invisalign as a safer and more reliable alternative for teeth straightening.
Invisalign treatments are tailored to fit your mouth precisely. This ensures that any adjustments made to align your teeth will only make your bite better. As a result, your oral health and the function of your jaw are preserved. This helps maintain the health and functionality of your jaw.
