The alternative to Invisalign – What is the difference between bestsmile and Invisalign?

The invention

The idea behind the aligner was to create a modern and comfortable orthodontic appliance. Conventional braces are not removable and brackets and wires are clearly visible. Thanks to their high level of comfort and more discreet appearance, dental aligners are very popular among teenagers and adults who wish to straighten their teeth.

The production

Many dentists worldwide offer Invisalign treatments. The manufacturer, Align Technology from the USA, produces its aligners in Mexico* and their 3D scanners come from Cadent, a company located in Israel** and acquired in 2011. But does it make sense for a Swiss dentist to order dental appliances for his patients in the USA, which are then manufactured in Mexico and then sent to Switzerland?

At bestsmile, all production steps take place in Switzerland. In the numerous bestsmile practices, patients can receive personal advice and their individual treatment plan is made on the basis of the 3D scan of their teeth. bestsmile Aligner braces are then produced directly in the company’s own laboratories in Winterthur. In these laboratories, the dental models are 3D-printed, a PET film is adapted to the printed model, quality checks are carried out and finally the Aligners sets are sent to the practices.

With or without a visit to the practice

Some alternative providers of dental aligners do not offer any in-person consultation or examination appointments by a specialist dentist. When choosing an alternative to Invisalign, experts advise against providers who work exclusively online and without direct contact with dentists. Orthodontic treatments should always be supervised by a dentist or orthodontist.

At bestsmile, patients are accompanied by dentists or orthodontists throughout their entire treatment starting from the first consultation, during all follow-up visits and finally at the final check-up. If the patient has any further concerns during the treatment, the Customer Service and our team of orthodontists and specialised dentists are always available.
