Default Clearstep vs Invisalign

Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding these two soloutions.

Is Clearstep a stuitable alternative to cases where Invisalign would work?

Does Clearstep require attachments to the teeth the same as Invisalign?

What are the aesthetic differences between the two?

- Paul.

Clearstep also uses attachments in order to provide required tooth movement. Both systems have their benefits and limitations. I personally use both systems and often the choice is driven by what tooth movements are required. However the systems are fairly similar. I personally find we have more control with Invisalign.

Aesthetically I'd say Invisalign is more discrete

I hope this helps
