When it comes to choosing clear aligners two names likely come to mind.
SureSmile and Invisalign.
One has been "brand-popular" for what seems like ages
and the other is its rising and promising contender.
Choosing one or the other can be complicated, so let's delve into the key deciding factors.
TLDR:
If you're seeking an affordable solution to achieve a perfectly aligned smile, without compromising on quality or on treatment time compared to Invisalign, we invite you to visit Pilsen Smiles for a SureSmile Consultation.
What does SureSmile Offer?
Speed = Cost-Effectiveness
SureSmile can be a more cost-effective option compared to Invisalign.
With SureSmile, you pay for less clear aligners since the treatment is faster.
You save time and money due to less follow-ups with Pilsen Smiles.
It's simple - but why?
SureSmile's advanced technology and precise treatment planning often translate to quicker results. Many patients have seen significant improvement in their smiles in a shorter time frame compared to traditional aligners like Invisalign.
So how fast is SureSmile compared to Invisalign?
According to a Survey of Clear Aligner Clinicians, SureSmile is usually 3 Months faster than Invisalign (for Class 1 Malocclusions).
Ok, let's talk money.
Why Pay More for the Same Quality Result?
Invisalign's name has been in the clear aligner name for a long time and therefore has a higher price point - usually at $3,000-$8,000.
SureSmile on the other hand is at around $3,000-$5,000.
A $3,000 Dollar Difference.
But let's be clear, your price point may vary widely. These are the price ranges before insurance and out-of-pocket pay is calculated. It depends on your insurance provider and the complexity of your case.
But what matters is - SureSmile does it all for less.
"Wait so what are the differences of each smile? And can mine be improved with SureSmile?"
Don't Get Left Out - SureSmile Fixes More Smiles
Both SureSmile and Invisalign can treat a wide range of dental issues, from minor tooth movement to complex cases. However, SureSmile handles more complex cases.
SureSmile is offered at Pilsen Smiles because it corrects severe malocclusion problems such as pronounced overbites and large gaps between the teeth. We wouldn't want to leave anyone out of a chance to receive their dream smile - so we choose SureSmile.
Overcrowding
Overcrowding is a common issue where there is not enough space in the mouth for all teeth to fit properly, resulting in crooked or overlapping teeth.
Underbite
An Underbite is when the lower teeth overlap with the upper teeth significantly, causing potential jaw pain and difficulty chewing.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when one or more teeth in the upper jaw are behind the matching tooth/teeth in the lower jaw. This can lead to uneven wear on teeth and potential jaw misalignment.
Overbite
An overbite is when the upper teeth overlap with the lower teeth significantly. It can cause dental issues such as jaw pain, gum recession, and worn-down enamel.
Underbite
An Underbite is when the lower teeth overlap with the upper teeth significantly, causing potential jaw pain and difficulty chewing.
Spacing or Gaps
Gaps between teeth can occur due to missing teeth, small jaw size, or natural spacing between teeth. SureSmile can close these gaps for a more aesthetically pleasing and functional smile.
Open Bite
An Open Bite is when the upper and lower teeth do not properly touch when the mouth is closed. This can lead to speech difficulties and difficulty biting or chewing.
Crooked Teeth
Crooked Teeth Are teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or not properly positioned in the mouth.
SureSmile can also correct other dental issues such as rotated or tilted teeth, narrow arches, and asymmetrical smiles.
Which One is Right for You?
Now that we've compared SureSmile vs Invisalign across various factors, the question remains: which one is right for you? The answer depends on your individual needs and preferences.
Regardless of which clear aligner you decide to go with, what matters most is who you decide to plan your smile journey with. Too often, you'll hear of Orthodontists not following through with procedures - greatly affecting your smile and your wallet. It makes it all the more important to meet with someone you can trust and be qualified in the complicated field of Dentistry.
Trust us - this isn't something you want to leave to chance.
