PITTSBURGH, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "I used traditional clear spacers for two years and noticed that they began to break down, crumble, and disintegrate while in my mouth. I thought there could be a better spacing tool," said an inventor, from Effingham¸ Ill., "so I invented THE ALIGNER BUDDY. My design would provide a more durable, healthy, and longer lasting spacer to gently aide in moving teeth in a timely manner."

The patent-pending invention provides an improved spacing tool for use with clear aligners. In doing so, it offers an alternative to using traditional spacers that can break down or disintegrate. As a result, it enables the user to efficiently reach their goal in progressing to a straightened set of teeth. It also offers an enhanced appearance in less time. The invention features an effective and durable design that is easy to use so it is ideal for orthodontists, adults, children, etc. Additionally, a prototype is available.

The original design was submitted to the Chicago sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
