Choosing Your Path to Straighter Teeth
- Appearance: Invisalign is virtually invisible; traditional braces are visible metal or ceramic brackets.
- Comfort: Invisalign aligners are smooth plastic; braces can irritate cheeks and lips.
- Eating: Invisalign aligners are removed for meals; braces restrict certain foods.
- Effectiveness: Braces handle complex cases better; Invisalign is excellent for mild to moderate issues.
- Compliance: Invisalign requires wearing aligners 20-22 hours/day. Braces work 24/7 without patient compliance.
