Caspersmile: clear aligners to straighten teeth at home

Caspersmile is a company that sells clear aligners and other orthodontic products for at-home use. Its approach focuses on providing remote orthodontic treatment, without the need for frequent dental visits, with personalised plans and delivery of the aligners to the customer's home. The company operates in the UK and the US, according to the country options on its website.

Products and treatment plans

Caspersmile's catalogue includes clear aligners, retainers, night guards and sports mouth guards. The aligners are available in four options depending on the dental arch and the time of day they are worn:

• All-Day Dual Arch: for straightening teeth during the day, with a duration of 3 to 5 months and 22 hours of use per day. One-off price of £675 (was £1,175), with instalment payments from £95 per month.
• Nightlong Dual Arch: for nighttime use, with a duration of 5 to 7 months and 10 hours of use per night. One-off price of £770 (was £1,270), with instalment payments from £100 per month.
• All-Day Single Arch: for a single arch during the day, with a duration of 3 to 5 months and 22 hours of daily use. One-off price of £599 (was £925), with instalment payments from £87.5 per month.
• Nightlong Single Arch: for a single arch at night, with a duration of 5 to 7 months and 10 hours of nighttime use. One-off price of £649 (was £975), with instalment payments from £92 per month.

The company also sells custom night guards (soft, hard and hybrid), clear retainers (£125, was £150) and sports mouth guards (£150, was £180). The site indicated an autumn promotion with £500 off clear aligners and a free mystery box, as well as discounts of up to 70% on night guards, retainers and accessories.

Treatment process

The process begins with obtaining impressions or 3D scans of the teeth. Caspersmile offers two options: visiting a partner scan centre, where an expert performs the 3D scans, or using an at-home impression kit for £95 (with a promotional price of £27). Both options include a free video call with an expert and free return shipping. The customer then receives a dentist-approved treatment plan and, once accepted, receives the custom aligners to start treatment.

Cases treated and results

The company presents cases of customers with various dental conditions: crowding, overlapping teeth, spacing, open bite, deep bite, shifted midline, overbite and overjet. The treatments shown have durations of between 5 and 6 months, with a number of stages ranging from 15 to 20. Some cases include a teeth whitening kit. Caspersmile states it has completed more than 10,000 smile transformations and offers a lifetime guarantee on its aligners.
