Instasmile Aligners

Instasmile Aligners was the US direct-to-consumer clear-aligner line of Smile Horizon, Inc. (d/b/a instasmile) of Angier, North Carolina, part of the wider Instasmile brand better known for custom clip-on veneers. While selling, it offered fully remote treatment from a mailed impression kit, listed from a one-time $799 (Standard, single arch) to $1,299 (Pro, dual arch) and often discounted, with aligners worn about 22 hours a day. Its aligner site now redirects to Instasmile's veneers site and its store lists no products. Kept for market context. Sources
