A live, fully-cited clear aligner reference.
InvisibleBraces is an informational data platform that tracks every at-home clear aligner brand and the accessories sold alongside them, and cites the source behind every figure. It is a reference, not a seller and not a dental clinic.
One page per brand, one source per number
The at-home aligner market moves fast: prices shift, brands launch and shut down, and the line between a supervised, dentist-led plan and a fully remote mail-order kit gets blurred in marketing. InvisibleBraces exists to make that landscape legible without spin. For each brand we show price and financing, typical treatment length, the treatment model (all-day versus night-only, at-home versus hybrid), and FDA device safety, alongside the clinical evidence on clear aligners, and we link each one to the record it came from.
We do the same for the accessories and the candidacy question. We show what retainers, whitening, and cleaning products actually are, and we say plainly who is a candidate for at-home treatment and who should see an orthodontist in person. We also keep the brands that have shut down or been suspended on the board, clearly labeled, because SmileDirectClub's collapse and Byte's FDA suspension are the real story of this category. The point is not to sell anything. The point is that you can check us.
The rules behind every number
Every figure traces to a source
Nothing here is a bare number. Each price, recall status, study count, and product detail links directly to the FDA, the NLM, Europe PMC, or the brand's own page that proves it. If we cannot name a source, we do not show the figure.
We rank by the data, and disclose every partner
InvisibleBraces compares by the underlying data (price, financing, treatment length, oversight model, safety and recall status, and clinical evidence), and a partner never changes a price or a fact. Partner status is one bounded, disclosed signal in how results are ordered: all else equal it can lift a partner above a comparable option, but never above one that is clearly cheaper or safer and better supported, and every partner is labeled. We show a figure only when we have a real source for it; when we do not, we show an honest gap, never an invented number.
We stamp when we retrieved it
Live data carries its own retrieval time, so you can see how fresh it is. Remote, unsupervised treatment is labeled as such and never presented as equivalent to in-person orthodontic care.
Primary regulatory, clinical, and first-party sources
We build on authoritative regulatory and clinical data, plus each brand's own published terms. Each card lists the datasets it contributes to our source registry, and each dataset opens its own landing page.
Clear-aligner device classification (product code NXC, Class II), recalls, enforcement, and MAUDE adverse-event reports, through openFDA.
ClinicalTrials.gov registered studies and PubMed literature on clear-aligner and remote (direct-to-consumer) orthodontic treatment.
The biomedical literature behind the literature searches and the research-volume scores on the accessory pages: trials and systematic reviews on aligner efficacy and unsupervised-treatment safety.
Brand-published prices, financing, and product details, alongside the ADA and AAO positions on unsupervised, remote treatment.
No named clinician, no fabricated history
Every figure on InvisibleBraces is drawn from primary sources (the FDA's device databases via openFDA, the U.S. National Library of Medicine, and each brand's own published terms) and links back to the record that proves it. We publish what the sources say, cite where it came from, and stamp when we retrieved it.
Published by InvisibleBraces Editorial. We do not invent a dentist byline, a team page, or a founding story to borrow authority we have not earned. The authority here comes from the sources: they are named, dated, and one click away on every figure. The same publisher holds the AI-training job market to that standard in the research reports on AITraining.jobs, our sister publication, where each industry figure links to the filing, announcement or study it came from.
