Invisalign vs. Six Month Smiles – Which Braces are Right for You?

What’s the difference between Invisalign and Six Month Smiles?

The Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are designed to move teeth into the correct position gradually. The aligners are made from thermoplastic material and are worn over the teeth, which gradually moves them into place. The aligners are designed to be comfortable and removable so that they can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This treatment takes about 18 months to complete.

An alternative to traditional braces, Six Month Smiles uses aesthetically pleasing methods to straighten your teeth in a discreet manner. In contrast to the silver brackets and wires traditionally used for braces, Six Month Smiles uses tooth-colored brackets. The orthodontic appliance can be removed as early as six months, making it possible for patients to enjoy their new smile before they head off to college or start their first job.

Who can use them?

It is important to note that not everyone can use these types of braces. The two types of teeth alignment devices have different requirements and limitations.

Invisalign is suitable for adults and teenagers who have sufficient natural tooth structure and enough room in their mouths for the aligners to be worn comfortably, but it cannot be used by patients with dental problems like crowded teeth or deep bite issues. Six Month Smiles is a great alternative option for those who don’t meet the requirements of Invisalign.

Invisalign vs. Six Month Smiles: The Cost

The cost of Invisalign and Six Month Smiles varies depending on the type of insurance you may have. The best way to know how much it will cost you is to talk with your dentist about your insurance coverage and dental plan.
The debate between which system is better will never be resolved because it really depends on what user needs, wants, and what’s most important to them.
