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.
