Aren't DIY braces just cheap alternatives to traditional ones?

That’s exactly how they’re marketed, but the reality is very different. 

Orthodontics isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It requires X-rays, careful planning, and regular check-ups with a trained professional.

What you save upfront on DIY braces can cost you far more in the long run if things go wrong – and sadly, we’re seeing more and more patients who need complex, expensive corrective treatment.
