Have you been trying to decide which clear aligner treatment is right for you? Invisalign is a premium brand that has gained worldwide recognition, but it is far from the only option on the market. You could opt for locally made Nu Smile Aligners. How do these two treatments compare? Below, you will find out more about both of these orthodontic services.
Price
As a frugal individual, you are likely interested in knowing how much it will cost to straighten your teeth. If you opt for Invisalign, the total price of your treatment will depend on the extent of your dental misalignment and other factors. Most patients end up paying anywhere between $5,000 and $8,000.
If that price seems a little steep, you’ll be happy to know that Nu Smile Aligners cost just $1,750. That’s an all-inclusive fee that covers all the aligners you will need to straighten your pearly whites.
Support
With Invisalign, a dentist typically encourages patients to visit every six weeks for a checkup. These appointments keep the treatment on track and allow patients to ask any questions they have about their aligners.
With Nu Smile, six-week checkups are also the norm. You get to visit a highly experienced dentist who is proud of the Nu Smile system and is committed to making the treatment succeed for each patient.
Effectiveness
There isn’t much difference between Invisalign and Nu Smile Aligners when it comes to effectiveness. Both can treat a variety of mild to moderate cases of dental misalignment, including crooked teeth, malocclusion, gapped teeth, and more. Both treatments move the teeth in a predictable, precise way and are capable of delivering outstanding results. You can expect to notice a difference in your smile within just a few months of starting treatment, with final results usually taking 12 months or so to produce.
Materials and Technology
Invisalign is made out of a patented plastic material, while Nu Smile Aligners are constructed out of biocompatible polyethylene. Both materials are safe for use in the human mouth, and both are discreet enough that onlookers should not notice your aligners.
The technology used for the two treatments is also similar. Both use digital scanning technology and can give you a preview of what your results will look like. The biggest difference is that while Invisalign is fabricated in a distant laboratory, Nu Smile Aligners are 3D printed in our New Jersey facility. This reduces shipping fees and wait times.
Making Your Choice
A careful comparison of Nu Smile Aligners and Invisalign makes it clear that Nu Smile is the smarter choice. It offers all the premium perks of Invisalign, but without charging exorbitant fees for brand-name treatment.
