Braces or Invisalign: which is right for you?

• Braces: metal or clear ceramic brackets. Clear braces are less noticeable, and colored ties add a fun pop.
• Invisalign: clear, removable aligners are nearly invisible.

• Braces: fixed to your teeth, so they are always at work, though brackets or wires can sometimes irritate.
• Invisalign: smooth aligners rarely irritate and come out for eating and brushing.

• Braces: suitable for all cases, including complex bite issues, severe crowding and impacted teeth.
• Invisalign: ideal for many patients, but not recommended for the most severe or complex cases.

• Braces: food restrictions, extra care brushing and flossing, and occasional visits for broken brackets or wires.
• Invisalign: requires discipline — wear aligners 22 hours a day. Because they’re removable, you can eat what you like and brush as usual.
