Orthable

FAQ

Still have questions?

Orthable therapy includes several sets of tight-fitting, custom-made, BPA-free clear plastic trays that gradually shift teeth into their desired position.

Orthable comes as a set of multiple aligners. Each aligner will make slight adjustments to tooth position, a process that is mapped out in advance by a licensed dentist or orthodontist who reviews your case. You’ll begin wearing a new set of aligners as prescribed, advancing you to the next stage of your new smile. We make it even easier by shipping your aligners directly to you.

Orthable are made of a smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that won't irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces often do.

Every Orthable order begins with a free Smile Assessment and an at-home impression kit or 3D scan to determine if you are a smile candidate. The invisible aligner system is designed for minor to moderate teeth correction, including space between teeth, crowding, rotations, and some bite correction.
