Choosing Between Invisalign® Braces and Traditional Braces

Are you in need of braces and not sure which type would be the best for your situation? There are a lot of different types of braces available. One of the most popular brands is Invisalign® clear plastic braces. They have many benefits they offer over traditional braces, however, they may not be for everyone.

One of the major benefits of Invisalign is that they offer discretion and convenience to the wearer. Invisalign is able to offer these things because they use innovative aligner trays that are made of clear plastic that makes it difficult to tell you are even wearing braces. Invisalign is popular among adults who wish to straighten their teeth without looking like they are wearing braces.

The ability to remove the aligner trays is where the convenience comes into play. It’s not possible for the wearer to remove traditional braces, but Invisalign wearers can easily slide their aligner trays out before meals or brushing their teeth.

It should be noted that Invisalign isn’t for everyone. Invisalign braces aren’t able to correct twisted teeth or teeth that need to be corrected for height. Traditional braces work better in such cases. Dr. Daniel Bradshaw will help you pick the braces that work best for you.
