What to Expect During Your Transparent Braces Treatment Journey

Choosing transparent braces is a big step toward a more confident smile, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. If you’re curious about how the process works with Smileie in the U.S., we’re breaking down exactly what you can expect. From your first impression kit to your final retainer, here’s the full clear aligner journey, explained.

Step 1: Order Your At-Home Impression Kit

Your Smileie journey starts from the comfort of your home. You simply order your impression kit online.

The kit includes everything you need to take accurate molds of your teeth, along with detailed instructions and a prepaid return label. Once you receive it, take your impressions (don’t worry, it’s easier than it sounds) and send them back to the Smileie lab.

Step 2: Get Your Personalized Treatment Plan

Once your impressions are received, Smileie’s dental experts will create a custom 3D treatment plan using advanced technology.

This plan shows how your teeth will move week by week, and what your smile will look like at the end of treatment. You’ll get a full preview before committing to the aligners, so you can move forward with confidence.

Step 3: Approve and Receive Your Clear Aligners

If you’re happy with the plan, your transparent braces (aka clear aligners) are custom-made and shipped directly to your doorstep.

Your complete aligner kit includes:

• All the aligners you’ll need for your treatment
  

• Easy instructions
  

• A wear schedule to follow
  

• Optional tools to help with fit and removal
  

Each aligner is designed to gradually move your teeth with light, controlled force, without the bulk or discomfort of metal braces.

Step 4: Wear Your Aligners Consistently

This is where the magic happens. You’ll wear each set of aligners for two weeks, at least 20–22 hours per day, before switching to the next one in the series.

You can take them out to eat, drink (anything besides water), brush, and floss. They’re clear, comfortable, and barely noticeable, so you can smile through the entire journey without feeling self-conscious.

Whether you're correcting crowding, gaps, or bite issues, clear aligners offer an effective and flexible solution.

Step 5: Maintain Progress and Track Your Smile

Smileie makes it simple to stay on track without in-person checkups. You’ll monitor your progress at home and switch aligners according to the schedule provided.

Step 6: Lock in Your New Smile with Retainers

Once you finish your last aligner, your new smile is ready, but it’s important to keep it that way. Smileie recommends wearing custom retainers to prevent your teeth from shifting back.

Just like your clear aligners, these retainers are discreet and comfortable. Most people wear them at night to maintain their results long-term.
