Simpli5

[George H]

Hello

I have very crooked teeth and my dentist has recommended that I have Invisalign treatment to straighten my teeth into their correct position. My dentist has quoted £5000 for the Invisalign treatment and right now I kind afford that sort of cost.

I looked on the net and found the Simpli5 system which seems to be much cheaper with one place offering it for £2500 and they say that its a system thats quicker than Invisalign.

I would like to know if you have any experience of simpli5 and if you would recommend it for my case. I am worried that although its half the price, what happens if it does not work. Is Simpli5 as effective as Invisalign treatment in fixing crooked teeth?

Thank you for your question.

In dentistry and in medicine as well, we usually try to do treatments that have been tried and tested over the years and have proved successful in clinical trials.

According to Invisalign, over 1 million patients have been treated with the Invisalign system and the system has been greatly improved over the last 10 years. I dont know how widely used and tested the Simpli5 system is and for that reason, we prefer to treat our patients with Invisalign.
