But what are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are dental appliances that you can wear to straighten your teeth, and it is also of great help in treating minor teeth misalignment conditions. They could help with various teeth misalignment conditions such as gapped teeth, underbite, overbite, crowded teeth, etc.
Clear aligners work by moving your teeth slowly but surely, putting them in the proper position, straightening them, and aligning them. Before, they could only treat a few conditions, such as crowding. But with the advancement in technology, clear aligners are now efficient in treating many teeth misalignment conditions, albeit mild ones.
The current popularity of clear alignment treatment is that it is a far better alternative to traditional braces, especially in treating mild and moderate cases. Many consider traditional braces to be impractical in treating what experts consider to be minor teeth misalignment conditions. Uncomfortable to wear and expensive too.
Why wear clear aligners instead of traditional braces?
To dig deeper, let us look at some of the significant advantages of clear aligners over traditional braces:
-
In treating mild and moderate cases of teeth misalignment, clear aligners are as effective as traditional braces.
-
But they are far less expensive.
-
They are comfortable and easy to wear.
-
Without those metal wires, it does not irritate the mouth and cheeks.
-
Easy to clean and maintain.
-
You can eat in a usual manner, unlike with traditional braces.
-
Clear aligners could treat your teeth misalignment condition in a shorter period compared to traditional braces.
-
The whole process of acquiring clear aligners and the clear alignment treatment itself could be done at home. There is no need for frequent visits to dental clinics or frequent dentist intervention.
These are significant advantages. No wonder some people will prefer wearing clear aligners over traditional braces, and they consider it a far better alternative to achieving that lovely, beautiful smile they dream of and desire.
But many offer clear aligners nowadays. Are they all the same, or are there significant, vital differences? Let us take a closer look at the two brands, NewSmile and Alignerco, and see who between them has a more enticing offer.
NewSmile vs. Alignerco
NewSmile
NewSmile is one of the currently emerging brands of clear aligners making waves in the industry of dental technology and appliances. Initially based in Canada, NewSmile expanded its operations into the U.S., making clear aligners affordable and available to many people.
Their niche is that they make the clearest, most transparent invisible aligners currently on the market. They are far less expensive than most brands available and offer a variety of packages, from freebies to treatment, which makes them appealing compared to other competitors.
They offer a comprehensive payment plan which makes it easy for most people to avail of their clear alignment treatment. They also offer remote treatment for those who want less or no intervention from a specialist, no frequent visitation to the dental office, and instead have it at their homes.
Those with mild or moderate teeth misalignment conditions are prime candidates for NewSmile clear aligners. Teenagers and adults who have gapped teeth, underbite or overbite, and crowding would benefit most from what NewSmile offers. Identical with those who have minor problems in spacing and biting.
NewSmile will assess to determine whether you are a perfect fit and need to have clear alignment treatment. If you have an extreme or severe case of teeth misalignment, traditional braces would be the more appropriate dental procedure. You need to answer some questions to determine if you are a fit.
However, if NewSmile deems you fit to undergo clear alignment treatment, the processing is easy. If you use their impression kit but still fail to qualify, they will refund the payment for the impression kit.
How to get NewSmile clear aligners
Here is a guide on how you can avail NewSmile clear aligners:
Step 1: Take the "Smile Assessment Quiz"
You need to answer some questions for NewSmile to assess your teeth condition and overall oral health properly. According to your answers, they will decide whether you qualify to have clear aligners. They will ask about your treatment expectations and ask you to take some photos of your teeth.
If you pass the assessment, they will send you the impression kit.
Step 2: Making your teeth impression
Using the impression kit, you have to make a mold of your upper and lower teeth. They will use it to make your clear aligners. You need to send it back to them so that they can make your virtual treatment preview.
Step 3: Your 3D Treatment Preview
NewSmile will make a 3d animation of your teeth. It will show the initial condition of your teeth, then will show how your teeth will look as you progress in the clear alignment treatment. The 3d animation will show how your teeth will straighten and look from the beginning to the end of the treatment.
The preview allows you to raise some questions and clarify matters with the dental specialist. NewSmile can start making your clear aligners if everything is clear and agreed upon.
Step 4: Wearing your clear aligners and starting the treatment
You will receive your aligners and start the treatment a few weeks after. NewSmile has an app you can use to track your progress. You need to follow the instructions to achieve the desired results of having an unmistakable, clean smile. Other freebies such as retainers and a whitening kit are included with clear aligners.
Important reminder: Having other dental applications, like dental crowns, other implants, or the like, might impact the movement of your teeth. NewSmile might deem you unqualified for clear aligners because of this. You need to talk to your dentist about the best option.
Better ask your dentist about clear aligners, especially if you have a tooth implant.

Alignerco
Like NewSmile, Alignerco is pretty new in the market, but they hit the ground running, establishing a dental network all across the United States just before the pandemic. Alignerco, on their website, boasts of personnel who have extensive knowledge concerning dentistry and dental surgery.
Barely new in the field, what they offer on the table is nothing short of enticing, if not impressive. They also offer far less expensive clear aligners, like NewSmile, including retainers and whitening kits. They also offer a refund for those who use the impressive kit but would not qualify.
Mild and moderate teeth misalignment conditions, such as overbite, spacing, and crowding, are the ones that Alignerco promises to treat. Some customers claimed they were thrilled by the clear alignment treatment offered by Alignerco and recommended it to others.
How to get Alignerco clear aligners
Getting clear aligners is not that altogether different from other clear aligner brands:
Step 1: Are you a candidate?
Alignerco must know if you are a perfect fit for their clear aligners. You must answer some questions and give them some details so that they will know and assess you properly if you can go to the next step, which is having the impression kits.
Step 2: They want to get your "impression"
Like all other clear aligner brands, they will need to have your teeth impression so that their team can analyze it. The teeth impression will be their ultimate blueprint for making your clear aligners.
Step 3: Getting it "straight"
They will create the aligners and plan your treatment based on the impressions you have made of your teeth. The treatment is custom-made specifically for you.
Step 4: Wearing the new smile
Once everything is settled, you can now pay for the clear aligners kit. Just follow their instructions for you to have that incredible, lovely smile.
Important Reminder: They offer discounts and packages now and then, from their services to different products like impression kits. Though way less expensive than other clear aligner brands, the discount and packages are usually limited offers, meaning they are available only for a short period.
Features

They have a "Smile Projection," a 3D animation treatment proposal, which shows the "before" and "after" position of your teeth.
-
You will be assigned a "Smile Crew Member," who you will contact if you have questions.

-

-
And though there are limited offers, you may pay for other products such as retainers, which you need to wear for 4 to 6 months, maybe longer.

Verdict
Alignerco clear aligners are way less expensive, even by industry standards. As customers and client reviews post on their website, many are enthralled, claiming the treatment they offer is truly effective.
But there probably lies the rub. Alignerco may still need to prove a lot, for they are relatively new. The sample size of their clients and customers might still be too small compared to others, assurances from them, too few.
And since they are still new, some problems and issues concerning their treatment or effectiveness of their clear aligners may take some time to come out or be made public.
All this is not to suggest that they are not effective, but only that it is still too early to tell, based on their track record, to judge the overall efficacy of their treatment and the effectiveness of their clear aligners.
If you want to have your clear aligners from NewSmile or have questions, you can visit their website using the link below. They would be more than willing to answer your queries concerning clear aligners and everything about it.
Final Thoughts: Do they offer the same?
At first glance, it looks as if they both offer almost the same package on the table, albeit with one significant difference, which is in pricing. Since NewSmile and Alignerco offer the same, would it be correct to say that for customers, Alignerco has a more enticing offer compared to NewSmile?
If they truly offer the same, then the price difference might be significant to warrant preferring one brand to another. But as we know, when it comes to brands, there is a lot more than what meets the eye. It is essential, therefore, to examine the two brands closely.
The differences in pricing could be attributed to the fact that Alignerco needs to gain a foothold in the market. A relatively low price is a surefire marketing strategy that would captivate would-be clients, giving them an extra look they need.
The look, yes, but on a second, closer look, efficiency is what truly matters. Since Aliognerco is relatively new, the sample is tiny compared to others in the market. It isn't easy to ascertain whether their clear aligners and the treatment are effective or genuinely satisfy their customers.
And here, NewSmile, though it might be new too and more expensive, has considerable experience enough to warrant the efficiency and effectiveness of their clear aligners. We can account for the difference in prices to the assurance and guarantee that theirs is a far more effective treatment, based on track record and experience.
But we are only here talking of the effectiveness of treatment and track record. Aesthetics-wise, NewSmile truly offers one of the clearest, and most transparent aligners available. It is as if you are not wearing any dental appliance at all, with a very comfortable wear. Based on our research, NewSmile also offers superior service when it comes to support, instructions, and response time. On top of that, NewSmile also offers a monitoring service that is not available with Alignerco. For these reasons, our pick goes to NewSmile.
To summarize, while companies in this industry offer almost the same package, there are differences of service, support and quality of products. The significant difference in prices, may sometimes seem to be a real bargain; however, going the cheapest route often turns out to be a big gamble instead.
