Braces or Invisalign?
When deciding which corrective orthodontic treatment is best for you, there are a number of factors to consider.
One of the main considerations is making the decision between invisible or traditional braces.
Here are a few initial factors to take into account:
Invisible or visible:
If you want an aesthetic treatment, then opting for Invisalign might be the best option for you.
Traditional braces are made from brackets, metal and elastic bands – they tend to be stronger, but much more visible
Flexibility:
Clear retainers can be removed when needed, whereas metal braces are fixed to the teeth.
Length and severity of treatment:
Invisible braces can be used for most minor misalignment problems, and the treatment length is much shorter than that of traditional braces.
While Invisalign treatment length ranges between 6-18 months, metal braces are worn for up to 2 years.
Cost:
The initial cost of Invisalign tends to be higher than metal braces, however, the overhead costs are relatively similar.
Ceramic braces use clear brackets, and these are more expensive than traditional or invisible braces.
It is important to speak to a dental consultant when considering your various options. Meet our advanced dental team.

Why should I choose Invisalign?
- Invisalign is effectively invisible – it is an aesthetic correctional solution, so you don’t have to feel self-conscious during the alignment treatment process.
- They are custom-made using BPA-free plastic to fit your mouth and teeth perfectly
- They are very comfortable and cause little to no irritation in the mouth like metal braces
- They are removable at any time to ease oral hygiene habits
- You can use the trays to whiten your teeth while you straighten them
- You can eat what you like – there is no exhaustive list of foods to avoid which is a downside to traditional braces
Invisalign braces are becoming increasingly popular because of their simplicity and flexibility, with quick and guaranteed visible results.
See: Invisalign Benefits.
Why should I choose traditional braces?
- The realignment process is uninterrupted because the braces are fixed to your teeth
- Metal braces exert equal pressure on the entire tooth so they push the teeth from the very root for long-lasting alignment
- Traditional braces are time-tested and have been solving periodontal problems for centuries
- Restore smile as well as self-esteem and confidence
- If your misalignment issues are more serious, traditional braces are far more effective
- Treatment time is longer, so it is a more expensive option, but it provides guaranteed results.
