Straight teeth can enhance your smile and support your oral health. But traditional braces aren’t for everyone. Clear aligners, like Invisalign, quickly became popular for people seeking a discreet, comfortable way to straighten their teeth.
While Invisalign is a leading name in clear aligners, other options are worth exploring.
SureSmile stands out as one of the best Invisalign alternatives for straighter teeth thanks to its comfort, affordability, and effectiveness.
But there is no one-size-fits-all answer to straighter teeth because each person’s situation is unique. The first step to finding the best fit for you is booking an oral assessment with your dentist to determine your treatment options.
What Is Invisalign?
It’s essential to understand what Invisalign offers before discussing alternatives.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system designed to straighten teeth through a series of custom-made, removable trays. The aligners are nearly invisible, which allows users to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal braces.
Pros of Invisalign
Invisalign has some strengths:
- Discreet clear trays that are virtually invisible
- Removable aligners you can remove for eating & brushing
- Custom-fitted with each tray tailored to your teeth
Cons of Invisalign
There are a few cons to Invisalign:
- Higher cost, with prices ranging from $3,000 to $5,000
- Frequent check-ups with your dentist or orthodontist for progress monitoring
- Attachments may be required to support treatment, reducing the “invisible” effect
While Invisalign is effective, it’s not the only clear aligner option on the market. That’s where alternatives like SureSmile step in.

What to Expect During SureSmile Treatment
The SureSmile process is personalized to meet your unique orthodontic needs effectively. Here’s what you can expect when starting with SureSmile clear aligners.
Initial Consultation
During your first visit, your dentist can assess your teeth and determine whether SureSmile is the right fit for you. The 3D scanning technology can create a precise digital model of your teeth.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on the scan and analysis, your dentist develops a treatment plan to guide your teeth into proper alignment. Your plan will include a timeframe and the number of aligner trays required.
Aligners Fitting
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll visit your dentist to have them fitted. Small, discreet attachments may be bonded to your teeth to assist with specific movements.
Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll need to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours daily, removing them only while eating or drinking. Aligners are changed every 7–10 days to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
Regular Check-Ups
You’ll come in for regular check-ups so your dental team can keep an eye on your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
These appointments allow your dentist to confirm everything is moving effectively. We can also check for any little spots of tooth decay caused by food particles trapped under the aligners.
Treatment Completion
Once treatment is complete, your dentist may provide a retainer to help your teeth stay in their new positions.
