Aligners work in the same way, but instead of brackets on your teeth, you get a clear cover for them, a bit like a mouth guard.<\/p>    <p>Generally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/braces-for-adults\/straighten-teeth-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teeth straightening at home<\/a> works best for <strong>mild to moderate straightening<\/strong>. In-office brands like Invisalign can also treat more severe malocclusions. The main issues that aligners can treat are:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/malocclusion-crooked-teeth\/overbite\/\" target=\"_blank\">Overbite<\/a> <\/li>    <li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/malocclusion-crooked-teeth\/underbite\/\" target=\"_blank\">Underbite<\/a> <\/li>    <li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/malocclusion-crooked-teeth\/crowded-teeth\/\" target=\"_blank\">Crowded Teeth<\/a> <\/li>    <li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/malocclusion-crooked-teeth\/crossbite\/\" target=\"_blank\">Crossbite<\/a> <\/li>    <li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/malocclusion-crooked-teeth\/open-bite\/\" target=\"_blank\">Open bite<\/a> <\/li>    <li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/malocclusion-crooked-teeth\/diastema-gaps-teeth\/\" target=\"_blank\">Diastema<\/a> (gaps in teeth) <\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Franksmile offers a money-back guarantee if you go through the process of making impressions and it turns out they can\u2019t straighten up your smile for some reason.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/woman-using-clear-aligner-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"franksmile review\" class=\"wp-image-12290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/woman-using-clear-aligner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/woman-using-clear-aligner-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/woman-using-clear-aligner.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Which clear aligners would suit you best?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Your aligners will be carefully designed to make small changes to your teeth positions over time.

When it comes to Franksmile vs Invisalign, probably the most significant difference between the two is their level of expertise.<\/p>    <p>Invisalign has been in operation since 1997 and has developed its technology and skills to be able to deal with a wide range of orthodontic issues. In contrast, Franksmile has been in operation for around one year and can only work with mildly to moderately crooked teeth. The expert monitoring by Invisalign orthodontists, in person, also means you\u2019re going to get the best level of care possible, plus refinements where needed.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"how-do-i-get-franksmile-aligners\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get Franksmile aligners?<\/h2>    <p>There aren\u2019t many people who truly enjoy going to the dentist or orthodontist. You cut all of that worry and anxiety out with Franksmile by doing your own impressions at home and posting them off, along with photos of your teeth.<\/p>    <p>Since it\u2019s a pretty new concept, we\u2019ll talk you through exactly how it works step-by-step.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Show your smile<\/h3>    <p>To get rolling with Franksmile, you first have to fill out a quick assessment on their website. There are a few things that might mean you are ineligible for the aligners, such as:<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/cheek-retractor-alginers-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"cheek retractor aligners\" class=\"wp-image-12328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/cheek-retractor-alginers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/cheek-retractor-alginers-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/cheek-retractor-alginers.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Take photos using a cheek retractor<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Missing teeth<\/li>    <li>Implants<\/li>    <li>Unfilled cavities<\/li>    <li>Gum disease<\/li>    <li>Permanent retainers<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>So you\u2019ll be asked about them before you go any further.<\/p>    <p>After they\u2019ve checked that your teeth are eligible for Franksmile aligners, you have two options. You can either order a home impressions kit which costs \u00a349, or you can visit a Franksmile studio for a 3D scan.<\/p>    <p>The impressions kit contains everything you need to take your own mouth impressions, including dental putty and trays. There&#8217;s also a mouth opener which you use to take accurate photos of your teeth. Here&#8217;s a Franksmile review unboxing video from Youtuber Cooksterni that shows you the full process of how to make your impressions:<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div style=\"display: contents;\" >  <div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-9jicqimb30i\" class=\"arve\"> \t<div class=\"arve-inner\"> \t\t<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> \t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div> \t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &#039;none&#039;;autoplay &#039;none&#039;;camera &#039;none&#039;;ch-ua &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-read &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-write;display-capture &#039;none&#039;;encrypted-media &#039;none&#039;;gamepad &#039;none&#039;;geolocation &#039;none&#039;;gyroscope &#039;none&#039;;hid &#039;none&#039;;identity-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;idle-detection &#039;none&#039;;keyboard-map &#039;none&#039;;local-fonts &#039;none&#039;;magnetometer &#039;none&#039;;microphone &#039;none&#039;;midi &#039;none&#039;;payment &#039;none&#039;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &#039;none&#039;;publickey-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;screen-wake-lock &#039;none&#039;;serial &#039;none&#039;;sync-xhr;usb &#039;none&#039;;window-management &#039;none&#039;;xr-spatial-tracking &#039;none&#039;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-9jicqimb30i\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/9JiCqimB30I?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/9JiCqimB30I?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"0\"><\/iframe> \t\t\t \t\t<\/div> \t\t \t<\/div> \t \t \t <\/div> <\/div><\/figure>    <p>Rather not go through the hassle? Franksmile has offices across the UK where you can have a 3D scan of your mouth taken by a dental nurse. At time of writing they have six studios in the following locations:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>London \tMarylebone \t<\/li>    <li>London \tMonument \t<\/li>    <li>Birmingham \t<\/li>    <li>Manchester \t<\/li>    <li>Liverpool \t<\/li>    <li>Leeds <\/li> <\/ul>    <p>There\u2019s no cost involved if you go in for a scan, but if the price is a concern, make sure you weigh up your transport costs against what you\u2019d spend on the impressions kit.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: See your smile<\/h3>    <p>Once Franksmile has your impressions and photos, or your 3D scan, a dentist will plan your treatment. They\u2019ll make sure that you\u2019re eligible for treatment, and if not, the price of your impressions kit is refunded.<\/p>    <p>Assuming your teeth can be straightened, you\u2019ll get an email outlining your treatment plan from Franksmile with before and after images so you can see what your smile should ultimately look like.<\/p>    <p>You\u2019ll have a chance to talk with a personal consultant. They&#8217;ll explain how long your treatment will last and how many aligners you\u2019ll need. Typically, a course of treatment takes around six months and you must wear your aligners for 22 hours per day.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Your smile in the post<\/h3>    <p>The next step is the big one, taking the plunge and deciding to go ahead with your treatment plan. After giving them the go-ahead and paying the \u00a31,499 fee, or agreeing to the payment plan that we\u2019ll go into a little further down, your aligners are made for you. Franksmile uses a 3D printing method and plastic that\u2019s free from:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>BPA \t<\/li>    <li>Parabens \t<\/li>    <li>Phthalates <\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Everything comes in one box through the post, so make sure you keep it safe and don\u2019t lose any of the aligners. The customer care team will support you with any questions that you have.<\/p>    <p>The last pack in your box will be your retainer. This needs to be worn after treatment to make sure your teeth don\u2019t slip back to how they were before. Wear it as per the instructions that come in the box.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"how-much-does-franksmile-cost\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does Franksmile cost?<\/h2>    <p>With aligners costing \u00a31,499, Franksmile says that their prices are <strong>65% cheaper<\/strong> than normal teeth straightening procedures. That really depends on which system you compare it to, but here\u2019s a breakdown of what you pay for planning and executing your treatment:<\/p>    <div class=\"wptb-table-container wptb-table-30777\"><div class=\"wptb-table-container-matrix\" id=\"wptb-table-id-30777\" data-wptb-version=\"2.0.2\" data-wptb-pro-status=\"true\"><table class=\"wptb-preview-table wptb-element-main-table_setting-30777\" data-reconstraction=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-table-tds-sum-max-width=\"263\" data-wptb-cells-width-auto-count=\"2\" data-wptb-table-directives=\"eyJpbm5lckJvcmRlcnMiOnsiYWN0aXZlIjoiYWxsIiwiYm9yZGVyV2lkdGgiOiIxIiwiYm9yZGVyUmFkaXVzZXMiOnsiYWxsIjpudWxsfX19\" data-wptb-extra-styles=\"LyogRW50ZXIgeW91ciBjdXN0b20gQ1NTIHJ1bGVzIGhlcmUgKi8=\" role=\"table\" data-wptb-fixed-width-size=\"0\" data-table-columns=\"2\"><tbody><tr class=\"wptb-row\"><td class=\"wptb-cell\" data-y-index=\"0\" data-x-index=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-31\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104);
