But first, let’s take a look at what is Invisalign and ClearCorrect?
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an invisible tray made of smooth BPA-free clear plastic, designed to align your teeth gently. Your dentist will use pictures, impressions, and X-rays to create a precise 3-D image of your teeth.
What is ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect is a clear aligner designed to straighten your teeth as an alternative to traditional braces. Similar to other invisible aligner brands, like Invisalign, ClearCorrect straightens teeth using clear, personalized, removable aligners that gradually move teeth little by little. And eventually, correcting the teeth and smile to a new, beautiful look.
Invisalign vs. ClearCorrect
Cost
One of the ways ClearCorrect is advertised is as being cheaper than Invisalign. ClearCorrect price starts at $2,000, while the Invisalign price is commonly known to start at $5000 or more. The heavily advertised ClearCorrect cost of $2,000 refers to ClearCorrect Limited 6, which includes six aligners. The cost of ClearCorrect unlimited treatment will be closer to $4,000 to $5,000, similar to Invisalign Cost.
Therefore, it is worth considering ClearCorrect Limited treatment if you’re concern about the budget. On the other hand, if you’re someone who’s looking for an unlimited treatment option, the cost of Invisalign and ClearCorrect becomes somewhat similar.
Build
The aligners that ClearCorrect offers are often thinner than those for Invisalign. Some patients prefer ClearCorrect as they are less visible. That said, the lighter material also makes them more prone to crack or break.
Therefore, if you lead an active lifestyle or tend to play with your aligners, Invisalign might be the better option for you. But if you’re anxious about how visible your aligners are, you might consider ClearCorrect.
Comfort
ClearCorrect uses the same material that Invisalign used to provide over a decade ago. This material works well. However, Invisalign has upgraded and now using its own patented smart track material. Many of our patients report that this material feels more comfortable in their mouths.
Conclusion
Choosing between Invisalign and ClearCorrect is indeed tricky, as they have more similarities than differences. Both brands are trusted by orthodontists and dentists. Both have successful track records and positive reviews. In the end, you’ll have to make the final decision based on your preferences and what type of treatment you need to have a full, bright smile that you always dreamed of.
