ClearSmile
ClearSmile is Australia’s answer to Invisalign. The concepts are very similar: clear aligners called Correctors are worn by the patient all day and night, except when eating, drinking, cleaning teeth and playing contact sports. Treatment is usually between 12 and 18 months and a patient can have anywhere from 12 to 32 aligners. ClearSmile is ideal from problems such as crowding and spacing of teeth, but the orthodontist will determine what treatment is best for you. According to one Australian orthodontist accredited in both procedures, there are differences between the technology of ClearSmile and Invisalign. However, the results are the same.
