Invisalign represents the cutting-edge and most advanced orthodontic treatment currently accessible for teeth straightening. Transparent braces utilise a sequence of clear aligners, crafted through 3-D technology, precisely designed to guide your teeth to their flawlessly aligned position.
Hereβs a simple way to understand how Invisalign is different from traditional braces:
| Aspect | Invisalign (Clear Aligners) | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Almost invisible β great for a natural look | Metal wires and brackets are noticeable |
| Removable | Yes, easy to take out when eating or brushing | Fixed to your teeth until the end of treatment |
| Comfort | Smooth, gentle plastic with less irritation | Metal parts may rub and cause discomfort |
| Eating Limitations | None β remove aligners and enjoy all foods | Must avoid sticky, hard, and chewy foods |
| Cleaning & Care | Simple β remove to brush and floss as usual | Tricky β brushing and flossing around wires |
| Check-up Frequency | Fewer visits, mostly to check progress | Frequent visits for tightening and adjustments |
| Planning | Fully digital β see your future smile before starting | Mostly manual adjustments over time |
| Who Can Use It? | Best for mild to moderate alignment issues | Suitable for simple to severe cases |
| Pain Level | Gentle, gradual pressure β less painful overall | Tightening can cause soreness for days |
