It helps people get the smile they want by using 3D high tech invisible aligners and whitening products at a price they can afford. The company has an innovative direct to consumer business model that is both simple and convenient, while offering prices less than half the market average. Invisible aligners are a series of tight-fitting, custom-made plastic aligners that gradually shift teeth into their desired position. They are produced through 3D digital technology, which involves scanning the mouth of the patient, planning the treatment in a specialized software by a qualified orthodontist and producing the aligners with 3D printers. In relation to traditional dental braces, invisible aligners have a series of strong advantages: removable, aesthetic, invisible, comfortable, precise, shorter treatment duration and less professional dependence. Customers book appointments online and then visit a Smilink center to perform X-rays and 3D scanning in order to choose the appropriate treatment alongside a qualified orthodontist. All of this in just one visit, free of charge in under 45 minutes. If the patient decides to move forward, Smilink provides them with invisible aligners and a whitening kit at a very convenient price. In an average of 6-10 months, our customers will straighten and whiten their teeth.
