Thinking about straightening your smile but don’t love the idea of metal braces? Welcome to the world of clear aligners. These virtually invisible trays are a popular choice for adults and teens who want an orthodontic treatment that is subtle and looks good while correcting your alignment. Two major players dominate the space: Invisalign and ClearCorrect. So, which one’s better? Let’s break it down.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into place. They’re worn for 20-22 hours a day and switched out every couple of weeks as your teeth shift. No wires, no brackets—just a more discreet way to get a straighter smile.

Invisalign: The Pioneer

Invisalign has been leading the clear aligner game since 1997. With years of experience and innovation, it offers: Patented SmartTrack® material for better control and comfort; proven effectiveness for complex cases; and, widespread availability and orthodontist familiarity. It carries a premium price point for premium features.

ClearCorrect: The Challenger

Launched in 2006,dClearCorrect has grown quickly and built a strong reputation. Key features include: thinner, slightly more flexible material (Zendura®); typically lower cost than Invisalign; and, very effective for mild to moderate cases
