Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

Almost everybody who wore braces when they were young won’t remember it as a good experience. This is one reason older people rarely wore braces. When you compare Invisalign with traditional braces, you’ll see Invisalign is not only different but better. For adolescents and adults today, it’s the best solution for straightening teeth.

Comfort

Comfort is a top reason for choosing Invisalign over traditional metal braces. It may take a little while to get used to wearing the aligners, but they won’t be a bother at all. You can become so accustomed to the clear braces that you might not realize you’re wearing them.

This can’t be said for metal braces. Not only are tight braces uncomfortable, the metal brackets and wires can irritate your mouth. Think of how bothersome this would be, especially if you need to wear them for more than a year.

Results

You want to look good when your treatment is over. With Invisalign clear aligners, your teeth will be in the correct position and your smile will be perfect. Metal braces also provide very precise results for teeth alignment.

Appearance

The nearly invisible Invisalign braces won’t distract from your appearance. You can be confident whenever you smile. Metal braces are so noticeable that you may avoid smiling throughout the duration of your treatment.

Cost

Metal braces usually cost less than Invisalign braces. When you think of all the disadvantages, it’s not really worth it to save a few dollars. All the benefits of clear braces make Invisalign a sensible investment.

When you want to have your teeth straightened, you have your own priorities. Comparing these two types of braces should make Invisalign the logical choice. Consider Invisalign treatment a wise investment in your dental health and your smile.
