Price

Invisalign can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $7,000, and its cost depends on the severity of a case. Nu Smile Aligner costs just $3,000 for all patients — that’s about one-fourth the price of Invisalign! We even offer a convenient installment plan that will set you back only $110 per month for 24 months.

Technology

Digital smile design system on computer screen

Our technology represents the best in the dental industry. Our digital scanning, digital treatment planning, and 3D printing all take place right here in New Jersey — and we never cut corners when it comes to quality. In fact, the technology and process we use are the same as what you would expect from Invisalign.

Process

Digital printing and clear braces creation system

The Nu Smile Aligner process is basically the same as Invisalign; we create personalized, comfortable aligners and closely inspect them for quality. In this arena, the biggest difference between Nu Smile Aligner and Invisalign is where things happen. Our process is 100% local. With Invisalign, your treatment plan gets created in Costa Rica and your aligners are manufactured in Mexico. Isn’t it better to keep your dental treatment close to home?

Effectiveness

Invisalign markets its effectiveness for correcting a range of orthodontic problems — and Nu Smile Aligner can do exactly the same thing. Our custom-crafted clear aligners and detailed treatment plan process contribute to consistently outstanding results for patients who want to correct crooked teeth, bite problems, and other common orthodontic issues.

Appearance

Just like Invisalign, we use medical-grade, biocompatible, hypoallergenic polyethylene to craft our aligners. Hence, both Nu Smile Aligner and Invisalign feature a subtle appearance. Whether you are giving a boardroom presentation or hanging out with your college friends, your orthodontic treatment won’t call a lot of attention to itself.

Invisalign Vs. Nu Smile Aligner FAQs

The Nu Smile Aligner system beats out Invisalign in a number of ways. But do you still need convincing before you schedule your consultation with Dr. G and our team? We invite you to check out the following list of FAQs. If you do not see the information you were hoping for, or if you would like further explanation on anything you read here, please get in touch with us directly.

Why Does the Nu Smile Aligner System Cost So Much Less than Invisalign?

One of the reasons why we can provide Nu Smile Aligners at a fraction of the cost of Invisalign because we handle everything locally — and because we care about our patients’ budgets. Invisalign is an international organization, which means patients have to pay for treatment planning in Costa Rica, manufacturing of the aligners in Mexico, and shipping to get the aligners back to their dental office. Our local process cuts out extra expenses and passes the savings on to you.

What Are My Payment Options for Each Treatment?

Nu Smile Aligners are easy for most patients to afford — either $3,000 upfront or just $110/month. Invisalign also patients have financing options available to them, but they typically end up paying hundreds of dollars each month because the total price of Invisalign is so much higher than the total cost of the Nu Smile Aligner system. Plus, dentists who offer Invisalign may inflate prices according to the local cost of living. Dr. G makes Nu Smile Aligners so affordable because he doesn’t want anyone to forgo the treatment they want and need due to monetary concerns.

Do Invisalign and Nu Smile Aligners Use the Same Technology?

The technology is very similar. Both Nu Smile Aligners and Invisalign employ the latest in digital scanning, treatment planning software, and 3D printing. As a result, both treatments provide comfortable, custom clear aligners.

How Long Does Each Treatment Take?

The timeline with both treatments varies depending on a patient’s unique needs. It might take just a few months to begin seeing results, but it may take up to a year or longer for a patient to work their way through all of their aligners. Invisalign and the Nu Smile system are pretty equal in terms of how long they take to help a patient achieve their dream smile. However, Nu Smile may be slightly faster because the aligners are made locally. If you accidentally lose one, you may be able to get a replacement much sooner than if you were using Invisalign.

Are the Materials Used to Make the Two Types of Aligners the Same?

One of Invisalign’s selling points is that its clear aligners are made out of a patented, specialized material. Nu Smile Aligners are made out of a similar material that rivals Invisalign in terms of comfort, quality, and effectiveness.
