What Are Braces?

Traditional braces use a system of metal brackets and wires to shift your teeth into the correct positions. Braces are bonded to the surface of your teeth and are adjusted regularly by your dentist to ensure steady progress. While highly effective for even the most complex cases, braces are visible and require some dietary and oral hygiene adjustments during treatment.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a modern alternative to braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your smile and is designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Unlike braces, Invisalign® is virtually invisible, allowing you to maintain a natural appearance while undergoing treatment.

Invisalign® vs. Braces: Key Differences

Both Invisalign® and braces are effective orthodontic treatments, but here’s how they differ:

Appearance: Braces use visible metal brackets and wires, while Invisalign® features clear, virtually invisible aligners.

Comfort: Braces can cause discomfort due to wires and brackets, whereas Invisalign® aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic.

Removability: Braces are fixed to your teeth, while Invisalign® aligners are removable for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene.

Dietary Restrictions: Braces require avoiding sticky, hard, or chewy foods, but Invisalign® has no dietary restrictions since aligners can be removed during meals.

Maintenance: Braces require special tools to clean around brackets and wires, while Invisalign® is easy to clean by brushing both your aligners and teeth.

Deciding Which Is Right for You

Choosing between Invisalign® and braces depends on your specific needs, lifestyle, and preferences. If you have a complex case that requires significant adjustments, braces may be the better option. However, if you’re looking for a discreet, flexible treatment that fits into your busy life, Invisalign® could be the perfect choice. During your consultation at Windsor Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we’ll evaluate your teeth and help you make the best decision for your smile.

Zak Lane

"If you're as nervous as I was about getting oral surgery, I had two teeth that needed extraction, then I hope this review will help calm your nerves. I never felt the needle once. That helped me a lot. And throughout the procedure, Dr. Beason-Brown kept checking if I was okay. Before I knew it, the surgery was over and I was ready to go home."
