clear aligners vs. Other Options at Bloom
clear aligners isn't your only option.
Lingual braces (InSmile Braces) sit behind your teeth. Completely hidden. Even more discreet than aligners.
Clear ceramic brackets blend with your tooth color. Less noticeable than metal. A good option if fixed braces fit your case better.
We help you choose based on your case and lifestyle.
