Advantages of Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign aligners are a modern, advanced way to easily and comfortably straighten your teeth. There are many benefits of wearing Invisalign aligners instead of braces, including:

• Aligners are made out of durable SmartTrack material
• In-person consultations with a doctor of your choice
• Easy to remove while eating, drinking & flossing
• Virtually invisible
• Each aligner is trimmed to your gum line for optimal comfort, fit, and appearance
• Easy to keep clean
• Blue compliance indicator dots help you stay on track
• Covered by many orthodontic insurance plans

Advantages of Braces

Traditional braces have been used for years to align teeth and can provide successful results, but can take more time to straighten your teeth than Invisalign treatment. Braces typically take years to effectively straighten teeth. That being said, there are additional benefits to straightening your teeth with braces, such as:

• Braces are made from traditional brackets and wires
• In-person consultations with a doctor of your choice
• Covered by many orthodontic insurance plans

Choosing the Right Method for Straightening Your Teeth

If you are looking to straighten your teeth as quickly as possible and don't want to deal with metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners may be the right choice for you. Invisalign treatment can straighten your teeth in just 12-18 months, while braces can take years to effectively align your teeth.

Ultimately, the best way to determine if you should straighten your teeth with Invisalign aligners or traditional braces is to talk to your doctor and see which choice is right for you based on your oral health.
