You want to protect your teeth but you don’t want to take the traditional metal bracket and wire braces, probably your dentist will recommend you to take Invisalign. This is less painful and more convenient, making it easy for your treatment in order to eat, brush your teeth and something that is absolutely impossible with the traditional braces. These uses aligners, where it‘s removable and virtually invisible. Here are the comparison of using Braces and Invisalign:
Braces pros: This treatment has been used for a long period of time and is proven with many successful outcomes. • Almost of the orthodontists offer braces as a treatment as their specialty. • For patients at risk of non-compliance, it’s a quicker treatment path. • Its looks are customized with bracket designs and colored rubber bands. • No extra cleaning steps required besides regular brushing and flossing
Invisalign pros: Compare to brace, this type of treatment is less noticeable because it is clear in color that other may not notice while you speak or smile. • This can be removed for eating, flossing and brushing the teeth. • Maintaining your dental hygiene is easier, unlike brace, there’s no need for threading. • No issue with food eating caught. • No discomfort from wires. • The cost is lower than braces.
Braces cons: This treatment is highly visible when you speak and smile. • This is not removable, you’ll need your dentist permission first and they’re the one who will remove it. • Patients must compromise that using braces are not a good candidate because you may sacrifice the health of your gum and pre-existing dental conditions. • This may have some pain, sores or discomfort from wires, brackets and tooth movement. • May have some tooth breakage. • Brackets and wires require no gum chewing and restricted foods list so they won’t pop off.
Invisalign cons: The treatment can take longer if patients remove the trays too frequently. • May have discomfort from tooth movement • Must always brush after each meal to avoid staining. • Patients with crooked teeth are not always a good candidate for this. The method may not fully align the teeth. • Exceptional alignment needs may exceed the price of braces.
Clearly, the comparisons of the two are very tight. So, if you are self-conscious, Invisalign may appeal well to you. Straightening your teeth to improve your overall oral health should not be taken lightly. If you need help to decide braces or Invisalign make more sense by consulting your dentist. They will tell you what best for your oral health.
