SureSmile vs. Invisalign: Choosing the Best Smile Treatment

In 1997, Align Technology launched Invisalign aligners. This innovation changed orthodontic care. Many competitors have since adopted its design.

Invisalign and similar brands use clear, custom-fit aligners. These plastic aligners gently shift teeth into place, much like lingual braces. They’re discreet and removable for eating and cleaning. This makes them a great alternative to traditional metal braces.

The aligners are tooth colored, which straightens your teeth without drawing attention. This has made them a popular choice for those seeking a subtle solution to orthodontics.

Clear aligners are simple to keep clean. These two are two treatment options. Invisalign has more orthodontic experience.

This leads to better technology. Invisalign has enhanced more smiles than this new brand. This shows their expertise.

You wear the SureSmile treatment for 22 hours per day. But Invisalign’s longer experience gives it an edge.

The Invisalign system offers access to its superior technology, including its patented materials, predictive modeling technology, and  iTero digital scanning .

This new type of Invisalign offers a 3-year treatment package not a 18 months, while Invisalign provides 5 years of unlimited aligners. Orthodontic cases may need more set of aligners than expected, which can lead to extra costs within the 3-year limit.

SureSmile's lower-cost option is pay-as-you-go, impacting aligner quality based on lab fees. These aligners use inferior Essix ACE plastic material, lacking precision, comfort, and predictable compared to Invisalign's SmartTrack™ material.

In addition, SureSmile prices are lower because of lower-quality attachments, or treatment without attachments altogether. Align Technology's SmartForce™ attachments improve orthodontic treatment with Invisalign, but only expert providers can use them.

Invisalign is the first and best clear aligner system, known for its accuracy, quickness, and ability to predict movement. Studies have repeatedly found the advantages of Invisalign treatment in patient quality of life, including a  2011 study out of the University of Louisville.

Invisalign uses SmartForce™ attachments for better orthodontic care. These attachments speed up tooth movement for quicker smiles. The SmartTrack™ material used by Invisalign is comfortable and durable. Easy to clean and fits teeth perfectly.

The National Institute of Health has reviewed Invisalign. They found it highly effective in correcting smiles, just like traditional braces. You can wear Invisalign for 20 to 22 hours without affecting eating or drinking. This makes Invisalign a great choice for a beautiful smile.

Using the latest technology and expert care, the slightly higher cost of unrestricted aligners is usually worth it.

After all, your smile is an investment in your lifelong health and happiness: don't cut corners with your future. Get the highest-quality care you can find: that’s Invisalign treatment.
