Are Clear Aligners the Same as Invisalign?

Clear aligners are a popular treatment, and it's no wonder, considering they do away with the need for metal braces for many patients. However, not all clear aligners are created equally. Today we want to clear up any confusion and talk about what makes Invisalign in Aurora, CO, the premier brand.

Invisalign's History of Success

Invisalign is the original clear aligner system and has become a trusted, well-established brand. Introduced by Align Technology in 1997, Invisalign has a strong reputation for quality and has been used by over 10 million people worldwide. 

What Makes Invisalign Our Preferred Brand

While Invisalign has become synonymous with clear aligners, the treatment approach is unique in several ways:

Invisalign's Patented SmartTrak Material

Invisalign holds multiple patents, including one for their SmartTrak material. SmartTrak is medical-grade thermoplastic that improves control of tooth movement. 

The company designed SmartTrak for durability, flexibility, and comfort. The material fits snugly and applies gentle, consistent force to move teeth into their desired positions. 

SmartTrak is also FDA-approved and BPA-free, so you know it's safe to wear in your mouth.

Precise Customization and Treatment

Invisalign uses advanced technology and computer modeling to precisely fit each set of aligners for effective treatment. Treatment planning with Invisalign uses an intraoral scanner to capture precise impressions of your teeth. This allows your dentist to accurately plan tooth movement for more predictable outcomes. 

Innovation and Improvement 

Invisalign is continually improving and evolving to deliver better, more efficient treatment outcomes. Over the years, advances in the design of Invisalign have shortened treatment times without compromising results. They even offer aligners suitable for Phase One orthodontic treatment for children.

Why We Recommend Invisalign

Since Invisalign was introduced, there has been an explosion of clear aligner systems developed by other companies. However, Invisalign continues to be one of the most well-known, trusted, and widely used brands.

This consistent quality and effective treatment are why Dr. Holly Baller is confident in recommending Invisalign for her Aurora, CO, patients. She also offers traditional braces for children and adults with more significant bite issues.
