Invisalign has contributed to a rise in cheaper aligners - but you get what you pay for...


As the popularity of Invisalign has grown, so too has the number of cheaper alternatives offering “quick and easy” teeth straightening solutions. From mail-order aligners to discount brands promising perfect smiles at half the price, it’s tempting to think all aligners are created equal. But when it comes to your dental health – you really do get what you pay for.


At Lady Bay Dental Care in West Bridgford, Nottingham, we’ve seen a growing number of patients who are interested in clear aligners, but don't know where to start.

Why Are Cheaper Aligners Risky?


Many budget aligner brands operate remotely, with minimal input from a qualified dentist or orthodontist. Without face-to-face assessments, 3D scanning, or ongoing professional supervision, these treatments can lead to:


  • Poorly fitting aligners

  • Incomplete movement of teeth

  • Bite issues

  • Gum irritation or damage

  • Unpredictable results


What’s more, some cheaper options don’t even require X-rays before starting treatment – something we would never recommend for safe orthodontic care.


Invisalign do well with their marketing – but there may be a better option for you.

There’s no denying that Invisalign transformed the world of orthodontics. It proved that discreet, removable aligners can offer impressive results. However, Invisalign is no longer the only option on the market, and other brands are far exceeding their results for less time and money.


At Lady Bay Dental Care, we offer SPARK Clear Aligners – a newer, cutting-edge system that delivers even better outcomes, often at a more affordable price.


Why We Recommend SPARK Aligners


We choose SPARK Aligners for our patients because they offer:


✅ Improved Clarity:

SPARK aligners are made from a crystal-clear material that resists staining better than other brands.


✅ Greater Comfort:

The edges of SPARK aligners are polished for a smoother, more comfortable fit.


✅ Faster, More Predictable Movement:

Many patients see quicker results with SPARK thanks to its advanced TruGEN™ material, which applies force more efficiently.


✅ Affordability Without Compromise:

SPARK offers premium results with a more affordable investment price tag, making high-quality teeth straightening in Nottingham more accessible.
