Suresmile Vs Invisalign? (photo)

jaytothemeApr 21, 2013
I am wearing traditional braces and am on a 24 mo treatment plan. I have the option to switch to invisalign or suresmile in a few months (when my gaps have closed). I need help deciding which method is better for me. Any suggestions? What is the difference between suresmile and invisalign? Which is more effective? What questions should I ask my ortho to make sure I make the right decision? Thank you in advance!

Systems like  inman aligners have limited control in how and which direction the space gets closed. If you are looking for an aesthetic option you are better of considering Invisalign which delivers much more precise movements.

Your dentist would have the best information on how long they want you to wear your aligners. The refinement trays might have less movement build into each tray so you would not need as much time with them. Seven days still seems very short so just check that this is what they want you to do.

It’s possible for an attachment to wear out or partially break of over time. Depending how far along you are in treatment your doctor might choose to not replace it. If the tray is not sitting in all the way that might also cause the attachment not fully fill in the mold.
