When it comes to straightening teeth, patients often ask the same question: should I choose traditional braces or clear aligners? Both options have their pros and cons.
Braces: Tried and True
- Best for complex cases.
- Always working (no chance of forgetting to wear them).
- More affordable for some patients.
Clear Aligners: Discreet & Convenient
- Nearly invisible.
- Removable for eating and brushing.
- Comfortable with fewer food restrictions.
Factors to Consider
- Lifestyle and discipline.
- Treatment complexity.
- Budget and insurance coverage.
Closing:
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best way to decide is by consulting an orthodontist who can guide you based on your smile goals.
