Invisalign Express vs. Six Month Smiles: How They Actually Compare

Last updated on October 4, 2023 Leave a Comment

Invisalign Express vs Six Month Smiles Review Image

For years, orthodontic treatment was a one-track process. You went to the orthodontist for metal braces, and that was that. But after Invisalign produced the first mainstream clear aligner system in 1997, the industry evolved rapidly. New companies started finding more convenient, affordable ways to craft and use clear aligners. Of these companies, Six Month Smiles was one of the first.

Invisalign didn’t sit back and enjoy their success either. Over the past two decades, they’ve been consistently improving their clear aligner treatment and expanding the options they offer their providers. They designed Invisalign Express, to correct minor cases in just a few months. While Invisalign Express and Six Month Smiles might seem similar on the surface, they’re more different than you might think. This comparison guide covers all the most important differences between them.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

Last updated on January 27, 2022 Leave a Comment

Invisalign was introduced as a much more discreet and convenient alternative to braces, one that could move teeth much faster too. While braces can take 2-3 years, Invisalign’s average treatment time is just 12-15 months. Still, everyone is different, so treatment times vary depending on your condition’s severity.

Invisalign is a very flexible treatment option, and it can correct almost any condition that braces can. But, several things can affect how long this correction will take. In this guide, we’ll discuss some of the major factors that can affect your Invisalign treatment time and give you an idea of how long you’ll need to wait before flashing your new smile.
