What are the Differences Between Invisalign and Regular Braces?
There are a few major differences between Invisalign vs Braces;
1. Invisalign Braces are clear while traditional braces are usually a color of your choosing, however, advances in traditional braces have come a long way and you can now get clear brackets. They are more noticeable than Invisalign Braces, but less noticeable than a red, blue, or silver.
2. Invisalign Braces are Removable while traditional braces are bonded to your teeth permanently until treatment is completed. The advantages of removable braces are,
- You can remove them to eat
- You can remove them to brush your teeth
- You can remove them to bloss your teeth
- and you can remove them once in a while to eat the carmel or treat you’ve been craving for days.
Now, the advantage for traditional braces being left on all the time is just that, they are left on and the temptation to remove them is gone.
3. Invisalign Braces are trays or aligners while traditional braces are wires and brackets.
4. Invisalign Braces can treat common cases such as crowding, space closure, narrow arches, relapse and a few others while traditional braces can handle any case invisalign can, plus all the cases Invisalign can’t. So depending on your treatment, traditional braces may be your only options and the best option.
As far as treatment time, depending on your case and situation, Invisalign Braces and Traditional Orthodontic Braces will require the same amount of treatment wear. In some cases, Invisalign Braces can be worn in a shorter period of time therefore making it a quicker treatment.
