Less Expensive

Smart Moves® is a less expensive, highly-effective solution for anterior tooth alignment. You only pay for the setups and appliances you need—not a set price for an entire “system” of aligners you may never use.

With Smart Moves, you pay just $100 per setup, complete with two aligners ($50.00 per aligner), andachieve up to 1mm of tooth movementper arch. Most aligner systems can only move teeth .5mm or less per setup,resulting in more setups and higher costs.

Extremely cost effective, Smart Moves can produce up to three setups per impression.

More Control

Smart Moves uses two aligners per setup. The first aligner is the key to this dramatic tooth movement. Made of our exclusive, highly elastic 1.3mmInvisacryl™*Hard/Soft material, this aligner provides controlled, predictabletooth movement, is easy to seat and comfortable to wear.

The second aligner, made of hard 1mm Invisacryl, completes the movement for the setup. Each aligner is worn two to three weeks, depending on the case.

Customized to Your Needs

Once we receive your impression, our experienced designers will evaluate the case and verify the number of setups requested. Or if you prefer, we will provide you with our recommendation to achieve ideal correction.

If after three setups, more movement is needed, just send us another impression and we will repeat the process.

Get started now! It’s easy.
