Both braces and Invisalign can be used to improve the appearance of crooked, gapped, overcrowded, or misplaced teeth. But, metal braces can be uncomfortable while you are going through the treatment process. Not only do braces make it difficult to eat your favorite foods, but it can be a challenge to brush and floss because the brackets get in the way. Additionally, many people feel self-conscious about the appearance of having metal in their mouth.
In comparison, Invisalign can offer the same benefits of braces by creating the straight smile that you desire. But, you can skip the discomfort of having metal brackets attached to your teeth. Patients often agree that Invisalign is more comfortable compared to traditional braces. Plus, Invisalign could potentially speed up the treatment time.
