Invisalign is the clear aligner revolutionizing smiles. But can we agree on how to spell it? From the classic “Invisalign” to the more creative variations, it seems there’s a new spelling popping up every day.
At Firouz Orthodontics, we have seen a variety of misspellings of this product. Though we all make mistakes in spelling and grammar, in orthodontics it is important to make sure you are spelling a product’s name correctly to prevent any confusion or misunderstanding.
So without further ado, let’s dive into the world of Invisalign orthography and have a good laugh along the way.
The Classic: Invisalign
Let’s start with the OG: Invisalign. Simple, straightforward, and to the point. It’s the gold standard, the benchmark, the epitome of clarity (pun intended). But even this seemingly straightforward word has its challengers.
The Close Calls
Some misspellings are almost there. We’ve seen “Invisiline,” which is a valiant effort. It looks like an attempt to combine Invisalign with a superhero.
We appreciate the creativity, but let’s stick to the original, shall we? Then there’s “Invisible Aligners,” which is technically correct but misses the branding magic of “Invisalign”.
The Wildcards
Now, this is where things get interesting. We’ve encountered “Invisaline”, “Invisaligner”, and even “Invisaligners”.
These are the spelling rebels, the free spirits of the orthodontic world. Though we salute your bravery, perhaps a little less freedom in the spelling department would be beneficial.
Incorrect Autocorrections
Let’s not forget the unfortunate products of autocorrect.
We’ve seen “Invisalign” transformed into everything from “Invigilate” (which sounds like a very serious academic pursuit) to “Invisibility Cloak” (which would be awesome if it were real).
Autocorrect, we love you, but sometimes you need to take a step back.
The Importance of Correct Spelling
Okay, so we’ve had a good laugh, but there’s a serious point to be made here. Correct spelling matters, as it can prevent confusion for both patients and providers alike. So, let’s all do our part to spread the word about the correct spelling of Invisalign.
Invisalign has captured the hearts and smiles of millions, but it seems it hasn’t quite captured the hearts of spell checkers. While we appreciate the creativity and humor in the various spellings, let’s remember the original and correct way to spell it: Invisalign. Here’s to straight teeth and straight spelling!
