Does Invisalign have competitors?

While competition has created innovation, Invisalign is STILL the standard in which all others are compared. As first to market and with the most experience, the difference may be worth the fee even if Invisalign is slightly more expensive (if that is the suggestion by the treating dentist).
The "X factor" in all of this is the treating dentist. Tools are just tools, and a capable dentist will make the most of them. The most important factor in all care is the treating dentist.

There are some competitors that try to use the concepts of Invisalign but they are usually sued for patent infringement. Invisalign is the leader in this technology. The ibraces arent really in competition because they use backets on the back side of the tooth so its not comparable. Whoopi Goldberg and Tom Cruise hated ibraces and ended treatment sooner than later. They kept falling off and Whoopi swallowed one while eating a salad. That was a deal breaker for her.

Invisalign has been around for about twelve years and is the best product out there for clear aligner therapy. It has the most treated patients, a strong research and design component, a powerful marketing force, and strong doctor loyalty.
There is a system for minor tooth movement, the Red,White and Blue System as well as the Simpli-5 system made by AOA labs. This system does not use the computer technology that Invisalign uses and is only recommended for very minor tooth movement.
There is a new company that has recently started marketing in the U.S. called Clear Correct which is supposed to be the new competition for Invisalign. I do not use that product so can not comment on it.
