How Much Do Smartee Aligners Cost in Singapore? 

There is a new clear aligner entrant in Singapore – Smartee aligners. The clear aligner brand was founded in 2004 and has served more than 1 million smiles over 47 different countries. 

Just like the other clear aligner brands like Invisalign or Angel Aligner, Smartee aligners use a series of transparent trays to align your teeth. They are also a dentist-driven treatment that works with dentists and orthodontists to drive the treatment outcomes of patients. 

If you have been looking for a high-quality Invisalign alternative or simply heard about Smartee from your dentist or orthodontist and want to compare costs, this article will break down the cost of Smartee aligners in Singapore. 

What Are Smartee Aligners? 

Smartee Aligners are a clear aligner or invisible braces brand with an extensive product range to serve a wide age group and varying orthodontic conditions. The brand works with young children from age 2 onwards, as well as teenagers and adults. 

The dentist-driven orthodontic device is able to treat mild to complex orthodontic complexities with its product portfolio, making it a versatile treatment option for patients who wish to take up clear aligner treatment. 

How Much Do Smartee Aligners Cost?

Smartee Aligners cost from $2,800 to $9,800 in Singapore. For most cases, Smartee Aligners cost about $4,800 – $6,800 in Singapore. This cost does not include the cost of consultation, X-rays, treatment planning, refinements and retainers. 

At kohe™ Dental, we only offer the Smartee GS product range. The cost of Smartee GS treatment at our clinic costs $6,000 – $9,000 and includes a pair of post-treatment retainers as well as an unlimited number of refinements. 

Smartee GS is used at our dental clinic for complex orthodontic alignment that typically requires jaw surgery or multiple teeth extractions to achieve the right facial and dental profile. The Smartee GS aligners work to treat facial asymmetry, facial protrusion of the upper and lower jaw and severe overbite. If you have a mild to severe orthodontic condition, it is preferable to use Angel Aligner or Invisalign.

Are Smartee clear aligners cheaper than Invisalign? 

Smartee clear aligners are generally about the same cost as Invisalign in Singapore. This is because of the cost of their lab fees. 

The final cost of Smartee clear aligners are entirely dependent on your orthodontic complexity, your current dental condition, the dental clinic that you have gone to and the experience of the dentist or orthodontist that is treating you. 

What Is The Difference Between Smartee Aligners and Invisalign?

The main differences that you will find between Smartee clear aligners and Invisalign are their costs, product series and product systems. 

Both clear aligner brands are dentist-driven clear aligner systems that fulfil the same goal – to straighten teeth predictably. Whether it is Smartee Aligners or Invisalign, good clear aligner systems should be able to track your teeth accurately and help you achieve your ideal smile outcomes.

Smartee is from China, are you sure they are good? 

Smartee clear aligners indeed originated from China. They are also manufactured in China. 

However, the same goes for many other premium clear aligner brands like Invisalign or Angel Aligner. In fact, beyond clear aligners, many other high quality products like your Dyson vacuum cleaner, or the Apple laptop that I am using, are manufactured in China.

While there are many who still believe that ‘Made in China’ is a reflection of poor quality and standards, this is no longer true. The standards of production and manufacture in China have greatly changed. China is now one of the default locations for most brands to do high quality manufacturing. 

The reason for that is simply because of production cost efficiency and the availability of skilled labour at a lower cost. 

Why are Smartee clear aligners so expensive? 

One of the reasons for why Smartee clear aligners have a higher price tag is their lab fees. The brand charges a premium on their lab fees.

To reduce the cost of your Smartee clear aligners, you can visit a dedicated clear aligner centre that might be able to offer you a more affordable clear aligner solution. Dedicated clear aligner clinics are also able to reduce your overall clear aligner treatment costs because of their exclusive partnerships with clear aligner brands and distributors. 

Dedicated clear aligner centres also work on only clear aligner treatments. They have the experience and expertise to help guide your treatment to the outcomes that you desire.

Is there a more affordable and high-quality alternative to Smartee clear aligners? 

Yes there are more affordable clear aligner options available. Some of the popular alternatives include Angel Aligner and OneSmile. 

Smartee Aligners have a higher price point than most clear aligners in Singapore but they are suitable if you require extensive orthodontic work that typically requires surgery. 

If you are considering Smartee Aligners, they are generally more expensive than other clear aligner brands in Singapore. If cost and your budget is a major concern, there are other similar but more affordable alternatives like Angel Aligner or OneSmile. 

However, should you have a complex orthodontic condition that needs to be addressed, Smartee GS can be effective at helping you achieve your ideal facial and dental profile without surgery or extraction.
