Vancouver-based NewSmile has a unique approach to clear aligners. Their scalloped-edge design makes them less noticeable and ensures a snug fit that won’t irritate your gums like some straight-cut aligners might.

NewSmile also offers a budget-friendly way to achieve a straighter smile, saving you thousands compared to braces or Invisalign. Although there are also other clear aligners in Canada you can choose from.

At NewMouth, our team of dental experts is committed to helping you make informed decisions. We explored NewSmile’s features and user feedback and compared it with competitors so you can decide if it’s the right choice.

NewSmile Canada Treatments

NewSmile aligners effectively address mild to moderate malocclusions (crooked teeth) such as crowding, gaps, and minimal bite issues.

Whether you opt for the Fast Track or Night Aligner system, your kit includes the essentials for improving your smile:

• Impression kit
• Clear aligner trays
• A set of retainers
• Teeth whitening foam
• NewSmile app
• Remote monitoring
• Aligner remover
• Chewies

You have the flexibility to pay for your treatment upfront, or you can choose a financing plan to divide the cost into manageable monthly payments.

If you have an employer-sponsored Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) you can also request to be reimbursed for the treatment cost.

NewSmile isn’t covered by Medicare. But if you have private dental insurance, you can ask them about coverage. According to the Canadian Dental Association (CDA), private insurers may pay 50% of dental costs.

People who are unsuitable for the treatment will receive a refund for the cost of the impression kit. And if you’re not satisfied with the results, you may also get free refinement aligners.

How Does NewSmile Canada Work?

Like many at-home clear aligners, the treatment is entirely remote. That means the only way to start treatment is to order the impression kit.

Here are the steps to NewSmile:

1. Take a Smile Assessment Quiz ⁠— This quiz will help determine if you are a good candidate for treatment.
2. Order an impression kit online ⁠— Once the kit arrives, take impressions of your teeth and return them.
3. Find out if you’re qualified ⁠— A Canadian dentist or orthodontist will review your impressions and tell you whether you’re a suitable candidate.
4. Review your personalized treatment ⁠— If you approve the plan, you can pay for your clear aligners and wait for them to arrive.
5. Straighten your teeth ⁠— You can begin the treatment when you receive your aligners. Use the app to send progress photos to your provider.
6. Maintain a straight smile ⁠— After you complete the treatment, you can switch to retainers. The first set is free, but you’ll have to buy the next ones.

NewSmile vs. Invisalign Canada: Which Is Better?

NewSmile and Invisalign differ in a few key ways:

At-Home vs. In-Office Treatment

Unlike Invisalign, NewSmile is an at-home aligner company. This means there are no mandatory visits to the dentist’s office. Your progress will be monitored remotely through an app.

Invisalign treatment involves a mandatory consultation and check-up appointments every six weeks. This makes treatment monitoring more in-depth but also less convenient.

Treatment Options and Treated Cases

NewSmile Canada can only fix mild to moderate cases of teeth misalignment in adults. Most of the issues it treats are cosmetic. Your choices are also limited to daytime and nighttime aligners.

On the other hand, Invisalign corrects minor to severe alignment issues in children, teenagers, and adults. Your treatment options include:

• Invisalign Full
• Invisalign Lite
• Invisalign i7
• Invisalign Teen
• Invisalign First

Treatment Times

NewSmile is much faster than Invisalign and can treat minor teeth misalignment in as little as 4 to 6 months.

Invisalign treatment can be as fast as 6 months but generally ranges between 12 to 18 months. Sometimes it can take up to 24 months.

Treatment Cost

NewSmile costs CA$1,899 to CA$2,099. With discount codes, you can save up to CA$300 on your aligners.

Invisalign in Canada usually costs between $3,000 and $8,000, but this varies by location. In Vancouver, it can cost $7,000 to $12,000.

This significant price difference makes NewSmile an affordable alternative to Invisalign for minor teeth alignment issues.
