Braces vs. Invisalign
At Olson Orthodontics, our mission is to help patients throughout Litchfield Park, Verrado, and Buckeye, AZ achieve healthy, beautiful smiles. But orthodontic treatment isn't one size fits all anymore: thanks to advances in orthodontic technology, patients have more choices than ever when it comes to achieving a new smile. One of the most popular alternatives to emerge in recent years is Invisalign, a treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth instead of brackets and wires. If you're trying to decide between Invisalign and braces for your orthodontic treatment, we can help.
Should I Choose Braces or Invisalign?
It's little wonder why Invisalign is one of the most popular alternatives to braces. The unique design of Invisalign means it comes with a number of advantages over traditional braces: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible when worn, easy to take out for eating and oral hygiene, and smooth to the touch. This means you won't have to worry about having braces in photos or at major events, you can still enjoy your favorite foods, brushing & flossing are as easy as ever, and Invisalign treatment is normally more comfortable than treatment with braces. An impressive list, to say the least.
But there are still situations where braces offer the best option for a new smile. Some more complex or severe orthodontic conditions may not be treatable with Invisalign alone, whereas braces can treat virtually any orthodontic problem. Braces are also the most cost-effective treatment available, and modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more aesthetically appealing than those of the past. Plus, clear braces offer a more discreet treatment option that still comes with the benefits of braces.
