2Usmiles Clear Aligners

Clear aligners (invisible braces) are a more comfortable and convenient alternative to metal braces. The trays fit over your teeth and gradually move them into the correct alignment. 

2Usmiles is a newer brand of at-home aligners, which means treatment is completed 100% remotely. The aligners are made of thin BPA and latex-free plastic. The material is also FDA-approved.  

The aligners apply gentle pressure to specific points on your teeth. This pressure transfers to your tooth roots and jaw. The trays gradually shift the teeth into the correct position. These movements are applied in small increments.

How 2Usmiles Works

2Usmiles sells at-home aligners, also called direct-to-consumer (DTC) aligners. These are different from in-office aligners like Invisalign. 

In-office aligners require you to visit a dental professional like a dentist or orthodontist. You’ll set up an appointment to get teeth impressions and x-rays taken beforehand. Then you have to see them regularly to check progress.

The dentist's office acts as the 'middleman.' This means you’ll get a high standard of care with a much higher price tag.

At-home aligners are a cheaper, more convenient alternative to Invisalign and other in-office treatments. Everything is monitored remotely with direction from dental professionals. 

You’ll order an impression kit, take them at home, and send them back. A custom digital treatment plan is created, and the aligners are sent directly to your home.

At-home aligners are growing in popularity due to their convenience and reduced cost. Invisalign costs between $4,000 and $8,000. At-home aligners like 2Usmiles cost less than $2,000.
