And, well, they are in many ways. At the end of the day, both have impressive success and customer satisfaction rates, and both will effectively shift your teeth into straighter positions. However, there are a few differences in detail that could help you choose one over the other. Keep reading learn what they are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aligner Trimline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201ctrimline\u201d on a clear aligner tray is the plastic edge that will be closest to your gums when you put them on. As of yet, there doesn\u2019t seem to be a significant difference in treatment outcomes due to the type of trimline used. However, they do impact comfort and convenience, which you might have preferences for. Here\u2019s the basics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Invisalign<\/strong> uses a <strong>scalloped trimline<\/strong>. What this means is that the edge is molded to follow the contours of your gumline and stop just below it. Some patients find this more comfortable, but a scalloped design makes the aligner material more flexible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ClearCorrect <\/strong>has a <strong>flat trimline<\/strong>. The aligner height is the same across the dental lineup, and extends past the teeth, making contact with the gums. This design can cause discomfort for some patients, but retains their teeth\u2019s new positions more efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You might prefer Invisalign if you prioritize a comfortable fit. On the other hand, ClearCorrect generally requires fewer attachments because they\u2019re not as flexible, which translates to less time spent in dental office. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technology and Accuracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign is a product of Align Technology, which has the most industry experience by far. It\u2019s only natural that they would have advanced aligner and fabrication technology to perfect the clear aligner experience. Because of this, they are slightly more accurate when it comes to your trays\u2019 fit and ability to effectively shift your teeth into alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ClearCorrect doesn\u2019t have the same wealth of experience, but they have been making advancements of their own in recent years. For example, like Invisalign, they now have a unique patent for the plastic composition of their trays. As they continue to grow and find their niche in the clear aligner market, they\u2019ll likely continue to make developments that define their brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s Talk Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of, price is very much a part of these two companies\u2019 branding. Invisalign likes to carry itself as a premium orthodontic treatment solution \u2013 justifiably so. You might pay a bit more, but that money definitely goes towards quality and customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ClearCorrect prefers a solid middle-ground when it comes to costs, which is much appreciated in the current market. You\u2019ll still receive a beautifully straightened smile at the end of your treatment, and likely save money in comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping It All Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, patients tend to prefer one company over the other because of personal preferences rather than significant differences in treatment results. If your dentist provides both Invisalign and ClearCorrect aligners, it\u2019s worth meeting with them to discuss the details of your dental situation and which treatment will best suit your needs. In the end there isn\u2019t a \u201cwrong choice\u201d, so you can confidently choose the option that you like most!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearcoastdental.com\/meet-the-team.html\">Clear Coast Dental<\/a> understands that every patient has their own unique set of needs and preferences when it comes to their oral care.
