Align Technology Supplies Non-Invisalign Clear Aligners to SmileDirectClub
The at-home teeth straightening systems you may have heard in the past are actually partnered with Invisalign (link) to provide them with their products. They use Invisalign’s older/discontinued manufacturing and production lines to to manufacture the clear aligner.
When you get Invisalign from a dental office such as Beacon Smiles Dental, you rest assured the aligners made for you directly from Invisalign have incorporated many innovations that are not found in the older invisalign technologies.

Invisalign Aligners Do Not Cover Your Gums
Invisalign no longer covers your gum. This is because it had been found that, in many cases, the gums would get irritated. This can result in recession of the gums and other gum problems. Many at-home systems are designed to cover the gums.
Refinements Can Help Steer Your Ship On Course
Many cases need touch-up after the initial set up of the aligners. The more touch up available, the more likely you would be happy with your end result.

When you are treated at our office, our ultimate goal is the happiness of our patients. We will guide your progress and take any necessary step to refine your treatment results.
