Six reasons why patients love Suresmile clear aligners vs. Invisalign

Straightening the smile and realigning the teeth sounds like quite the feat, but with the assistance of a trained and experienced professional, you can address issues such as spacing and misalignment with a series of treatments. Metal bracket-and-wire braces are still appropriate in many situations, but many patients find they are appropriate candidates for clear aligners instead. Dr. Mark H. Wright of Colorado Springs, Colorado, can help you learn more about clear aligner therapy with Suresmile clear aligners and whether they are appropriate for teens and adults.

Six reasons why patients prefer Suresmile clear aligners over Invisalign

Both Suresmile and Invisalign are clear aligner treatment options, and while they may appear to be one and the same, there are a few differences. Let’s look at why some patients choose Suresmile clear aligners with Dr. Mark H. Wright over Invisalign for teens and adults.

• Appropriate for more severe cases. Suresmile aligners are often used, sometimes in conjunction with clear brackets and wires. Invisalign only uses trays, while Suresmile can combine the two into different phases to ensure the best results.
• Different technologies. Suresmile aligners use an Orascanner device that creates 3D models of the smile before treatment. This helps to make the trays and ensure they are effective at achieving the results patients desire.
• Time to complete treatment. Treatment duration with Suresmile aligners is comparable to Invisalign. However, Invisalign can be used for longer as it can create up to five years of trays versus three years with Suresmile.
• The number of aligners. This varies from case to case as patients with more severe misalignment will need to have more aligners than those with less severe cases of malocclusion. During your consultation with Dr. Mark H. Wright and his team, we can evaluate you and decide if Suresmile is right for you.
• Materials used. Suresmile aligners are made with a plastic called Essix ACE, while Invisalign aligners are made with a plastic called SmartTrack. Both are effective at straightening teeth and are similar in comfort and fit.
• Cost. Invisalign tends to cost more because the technology used has been around longer than the technology used for Suresmile aligners. Many patients are more familiar with the term Invisalign than Suresmile, making it more of a household name. However, patients looking to save money while getting similar treatment will find Suresmile an affordable alternative.
