Both Invisalign and traditional braces can create a straighter, healthier smile, but they use different methods and suit different needs. The right option depends on the complexity of your case, your lifestyle, and your treatment goals.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth. They are discreet and can be removed for meals, brushing, and special occasions. For the best results, the aligners need to be worn for around 22 hours each day.
Traditional braces use fixed brackets and wires. They are highly effective for a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including more complex tooth and bite movements. Because they remain in place, there is no need to remember to put them back in.
Your dentist or orthodontist will assess your teeth, bite, and oral health before recommending treatment. A consultation is the best way to understand which option will produce a predictable result for you.
