How Do OrthoFX Aligners Compare To Invisalign®?

Both OrthoFX and Invisalign® use clear plastic aligners to move teeth gradually. However, OrthoFX stands out with:

  • Fewer office visits: Remote monitoring through the FXOnTrack app helps keep your treatment on schedule from home.
  • Faster results: Many patients see improvements in as little as 6 months, while Invisalign may take 9 months or longer.
  • Affordability – At Sarauer Family Dental, we can bundle OrthoFX with other services to keep costs manageable. We also offer no-interest and low-interest financing through CareCredit.
  • Unique material – OrthoFX aligners are made from a three-layer polymer that is durable and comfortable. Its unique design and smooth material make it easier to wear than other brands.

Clear Aligners vs. Traditional and Clear Braces

Should you choose clear aligners or braces? Here’s how they stack up:

  • Traditional metal braces, which use brackets and wires, are highly visible but more effective for complex cases or orthodontic correction before jaw surgery.
  • Clear braces use ceramic brackets for a less noticeable appearance but still rely on wires.
  • Clear aligners like OrthoFX and Invisalign® are removable, virtually invisible, and easier to clean, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults.
  • Clear braces are not removable for eating or drinking, which means you risk getting stains on your teeth that will be noticeable when the brackets are removed. OrthoFX clear aligners can be removed when you eat, drink, brush, and floss. This eliminates uneven staining and discoloration.

The OrthoFX Treatment Process

  • Consultation: Meet with Dr. Todd Sarauer or Dr. Brady Sarauer to discuss your goals and evaluate your smile.

Clear Aligner FAQs

How much does clear aligner treatment cost?

Treatment costs depend on your specific needs, but OrthoFX offers transparent pricing and financing. Many patients find OrthoFX to be more affordable than other options like Invisalign®.

Does insurance cover aligner treatment? What payment plans are available?

Yes, many dental insurance plans include at least partial coverage for clear aligners. Our office can check your benefits and help you choose from flexible financing and payment plans that suit your budget.

Are clear aligners painful?

Most patients report mild discomfort during the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. This is normal and typically fades within a day or two. OrthoFX aligners are specially designed to be more comfortable than many alternatives.

Am I a good candidate for clear aligners?

If you have mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues, you’re likely a good candidate. Drs. Todd Sarauer or Brady Sarauer will evaluate your smile to confirm if OrthoFX is the right solution for you.

What can I eat or drink with aligners in?

It’s best to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps avoid staining and damage to the aligners.

Will aligners affect my speech?

Some people notice a slight lisp when they first start wearing clear aligners, but this usually goes away within a few days as your mouth adjusts to the feel of the aligners.
