Invisalign is different from traditional braces because it uses nearly invisible and removable aligners instead of metal brackets and wires to gradually straighten teeth.
Many people who want straighter teeth often compare Invisalign with traditional braces before deciding which option suits their lifestyle and smile goals better.
Both treatments are designed to improve teeth alignment, but the treatment experience can feel quite different.
Invisalign is a modern clear aligner system that uses transparent custom-made trays to gradually move teeth into better positions over time.
The aligners are removable and designed to fit more naturally into daily life.
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires attached to the teeth to help move teeth gradually into alignment.
They are commonly used for various orthodontic cases and have been used for many years.
