Smilers® Clear Aligners
Straighter teeth on a budget that makes sense — without the metal.
Smilers is a clear aligner system designed for milder cosmetic alignment cases. Like Invisalign, it uses a series of custom-fit, removable trays to gradually move teeth — but for the right cases, it's typically more affordable and faster.
Smilers is best for adults who have minor crowding, spacing, or relapse from previous orthodontics — not for complex bite correction. Our dentists will tell you honestly whether Smilers is the right fit, or whether Invisalign or another option will deliver a better result for your case.
Smilers is offered at our Chesterfield and Richmond offices. We'll evaluate your case in person at the consult before recommending a system.
A clear, comfortable process from start to finish.

Common questions about smilers® clear aligners.
How is Smilers different from Invisalign?
Smilers is generally suited to milder cosmetic cases and is often more affordable. Invisalign has a longer track record and handles a wider range of complexity. We recommend whichever fits your case better — not whichever sells more.
How long does Smilers treatment take?
Typical cases finish in 4–9 months. Your timeline depends on how much movement is needed.
Will Smilers work for my case?
Smilers works best for mild crowding, small spaces, or minor relapse. If your case needs more complex bite correction, we'll recommend an alternative.
Does insurance cover Smilers?
Some orthodontic insurance plans cover Smilers; some don't. Our team verifies benefits before treatment starts and presents transparent pricing.
What about retainers afterward?
Retainers are essential after any aligner treatment. We make custom retainers and review a wear schedule that protects your result long-term.
