Europe’s most trusted online aligner solution
Our mission is to make orthodontics more accessible and affordable through technology.
Created by dentists.
Powered by technology.
We take teeth seriously. That’s why Straight Teeth Direct® is powered by expert dentists and the latest technology. Our dentists and orthodontists are hand-picked because they want to change the face of dentistry. They use digital innovation to help more people benefit from their knowledge and work together to create breakthroughs in tele-orthodontics.
The science behind the smiles
Made in the UK, with offices across Europe and delivered straight to your door all around the world. With a multicultural team, users in over 50 countries and 5 continents we are a truly global brand.
We have rethought and redesigned the entire aligner manufacturing process to optimise faster tooth movement completely remotely without clinic visits and worked on hardware innovations to create aligners that are superiorly comfortable to ensure the very best quality and results for your smile.
The foundation
We were looking to create the type of dental practice experience we wanted ourselves. High tech clinic with TVs in the ceiling offering state of the art smile enhancement using the latest cosmetic orthodontic technologies.
Going Digital
To help more people access their dream smile we created an online assessment system and also helped more clinics do the same using the latest digital education booking and automation systems to grow their orthodontic practices.
Going Direct to Consumer
We saw the possibility to integrate our online assessment systems with state of the art 3D printing technologies to create a comprehensive teledentistry platform enabling at home cosmetic teeth straightening for a 1/3 of the cost of in clinic solutions. We launched in April 2016 and got enquiries from around the world.
Fully Mobile and Global Solution
Straight Teeth Direct® went live and global with iOS and Android apps starting the journey to data driven smiles delivered in 60+ countries. This is just the beginning.
