Blue marks the lower price only where every compared price is quoted the same way (a monthly price in US dollars); prices quoted in another currency, as a one-time fee or as a provider-set range are shown exactly as stated and never converted. Adverse-event figures are raw counts of reports filed with the FDA, not rates (what the reports mean). Each spec value opens that brand's spec sheet, and its numbered sources verify the specs as a set. None of this is a recommendation: the right choice depends on your case, your budget and, above all, an in-person exam by a dentist or orthodontist.

The bottom line

What actually differs

  • Neither is marked lower, since only monthly prices quoted in US dollars are ranked against each other: ClearCorrect $2,000-8,000 (provider-set) and Six Month Smiles Provider-set.
  • Typical treatment differs: ClearCorrect 6-18 months and Six Month Smiles 6-10 months.

InvisibleBraces is an informational data platform, not a dentist, an orthodontist, or a seller of aligners. Nothing here is dental or medical advice, a diagnosis, or a recommendation to start, stop, or change any treatment. At-home clear aligners are not right for every case, and moving teeth without an in-person exam carries real risk. Data is aggregated from public sources and each brand's own terms and can be incomplete or out of date. Always consult a licensed dentist or orthodontist and confirm current prices and terms with the provider.

Some outbound links on this site are referral links. If you sign up or buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay or the underlying data. Partner status is one bounded, disclosed signal in how we order results: all else equal it can lift a partner above a comparable option, but it is capped so a clearly cheaper or better-reviewed option still ranks first, and every partner is labeled.

Wear schedule
About 22 hrs/day, trays typically changed roughly every 2 weeks
Trays changed every 2 weeks; wear hours not published
Spec sheet
Start method
In-office 3D digital scan (or impressions) at a dentist or orthodontist, following an oral exam and x-rays
Taken by the dentist in the practice: an intraoral scan (3Shape, iTero, Cerec or STL files accepted) or PVS impressions, with x-rays and photos; there is no at-home kit.
Material
ClearQuartz (Straumann): a tri-layer plastic combining two layers of resilient polymers with an elastomeric inner layer, marketed as retaining 10x more of its initial force than many competitors and as 4x more tear-resistant than single-layer polymers
Zendura FLX, a dual-shell material (hard outer shell, elastomeric middle layer), 0.76 mm (0.030 in), per 6MS; the FDA summary describes a thermoformed polyurethane-polyester composite.
Retainers
Included per plan tier: One allows up to 1 retainer set, Two up to 2, Three up to 3, and Unlimited up to 2 sets every 6 months for 5 years
Not included in the patient tray kit; the dentist orders removable retainers from 6MS after treatment and sets their price
Whitening
Not published
Not published
Refinements / touch-ups
Revisions included by plan: One includes one revision; Unlimited includes unlimited revisions and replacements for 5 years
Up to 2 refinements within 2 years are included in the 6MS Invisible Aligners product (aligner page); a no-charge upgrade to a braces solution is offered to the dentist if braces would produce a better outcome.
Guarantee
Not published (any guarantee is provider-dependent)
No patient guarantee in the current terms: a limited warranty to the dentist covers defects in material and workmanship, not the outcome
Clinical oversight
Dentist or orthodontist directed, with in-person visits throughout treatment
In-office: a trained dentist examines, prescribes, fits and monitors; 6MS specialists prepare the plan, overseen by its orthodontists, and the dentist approves it
Financing
Depends on the provider: many practices offer in-office monthly payment plans; terms vary by office
Set by each practice
HSA / FSA
Eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement as orthodontic care
The brand's cost page says HSA or FSA accounts can help offset the cost; acceptance is the practice's decision
Insurance
Often partially covered by dental or orthodontic benefits; coverage lowers out-of-pocket cost depending on the plan
Some dental plans may cover part of treatment (brand's cost page)
Availability
North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, delivered through dentists and orthodontists; aligners manufactured in Round Rock, Texas
United States and United Kingdom through trained dentists (the company says its providers are in over 50 countries, without separating braces from aligners)
Headquarters
Round Rock, Texas, USA (parent Straumann Group, Basel, Switzerland)
Carrollton, Texas, United States
