Invisalign and SureSmile Aligners in Scottsdale, AZ

When choosing between Invisalign and SureSmile clear aligners, it’s important to consider the following:

• Complexity of Your Case — For more complex needs, Invisalign’s additional features may make it the better choice. SureSmile is also effective but might be more suited to less complex cases.
• Budget — Invisalign generally has a higher cost that reflects its brand recognition and extensive track record. SureSmile is a more affordable option without compromising on effectiveness.
• Treatment Time — SureSmile’s precision technology can sometimes result in shorter treatment times. Invisalign, while effective, might take longer for more complex cases.
• Comfort and Fit — Both brands offer comfortable aligners, but Invisalign’s SmartTrack™ material is specifically designed for optimal comfort and effectiveness.

The best way to determine which clear aligner system is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Clark. He’ll evaluate your specific needs and help you decide which option will give you the best results.

When you choose clear aligners at Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry, you can expect the following steps: 

• Initial Consultation — Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, during which Dr. Clark will use digital scans to create a 3-D model of your teeth. He’ll then design a personalized treatment plan that maps out how treatment will progress and predicts your final results so you can preview your new smile.
• Wearing Your Aligners — Wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily, and remove them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Your compliance is key, as each set of aligners is designed precisely to gently move your teeth closer to their final positions. Every one to two weeks, you'll switch out your current set of aligners for new ones. 
• Monitoring Progress — Throughout treatment, you’ll have check-ins with Dr. Clark every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress and ensure everything is on track. These visits are generally less frequent than needed for traditional braces.
• Completion and Retention — Once your treatment is complete, Dr. Clark will fit you with a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainer as directed is crucial for preserving the results and preventing orthodontic relapse.
