Are clear aligners expected to reduce in cost over the next couple of years due to new market players?

Thank you for your question and for including pictures of your smile. It appears to me that you may have had prior braces treatment with conventional braces and some of the teeth may have shifted such as the lower front teeth and the upper lateral incisors. The uploaded photo quality is not clear but there appears to be some white spot lesions or discolouration on your front teeth that could happen when oral hygiene and diet were not optimal during braces treatment. However the quality of the uploaded photo is a bit pixelated and I cannot be completely certain of this.

The Differences between Smiledesign, Clear Aligners and Traditional Braces. Procedure: Smiledesign: Does not move teeth; it is a renovation of the teeth. It uses a variety of dental procedures from Porcelain Veneers to Crown Lengthening to achieve aesthetic results. Smiles are custom designed for each patient. Position, size, shape and colour of the teeth can be altered. Clear Aligners: Moves teeth using clear plastic aligners every 6 weeks, must be worn 22 hours per day. Uses different sets of aligners to move teeth into the desired position. Only the position of the teeth can be corrected.
