Pros and Cons

of Traditional Braces

Pros

  • They can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including severe tooth misalignment cases.
  • They’re ideal for younger patients.
  • Competitive pricing for most cases.

Cons

  • Extra time is required to clean around them than removable aligners.
  • It takes some time to get used to fixed appliances. 
  • Routine adjustments are needed to progress your tooth movement. 

Pros and Cons

of Clear Aligners

Pros

  • They are virtually invisible and do not impact your appearance.
  • They are more comfortable than traditional braces and do not irritate the inside of the mouth.
  • They require fewer visits.
  • You can remove them at any time to eat or brush your teeth. 

Cons

  • There are relatively few downsides to clear aligners, as pricing is competitive and the system is extremely accurate.
  • However, they do need to be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day; if you feel you’ll have trouble keeping up with your trays, fixed braces may be a better option. 

Clear Aligners vs. Braces

When deciding between clear aligners and braces, it's important to consider your specific orthodontic needs. Clear aligners are best for mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, and minor bite issues. Adults and teens alike make excellent candidates. Whereas traditional braces are better suited for younger patients or more complex cases, such as severe crowding or bite issues.

Benefits of Choosing Clear Aligners Over Conventional Treatments

Choosing clear aligners over traditional braces can offer several benefits, including:


  • A more comfortable treatment experience.
  • An aesthetically pleasing treatment option that doesn't impact your appearance or self-confidence.
  • Fewer visits to the dentist’s office, as clear aligners require fewer adjustments than traditional braces.
  • Zero lifestyle changes, as the aligners are removable during meals.
