Compare comfort, appearance, responsibility and treatment suitability before choosing an orthodontic option.
Understanding clear aligners
Clear aligners use a planned sequence of removable trays to gradually move teeth.
They are discreet and removable, but successful treatment requires consistent daily wear and careful maintenance.
Understanding traditional braces
Traditional braces use brackets and wires that remain attached throughout treatment.
They may be suitable for a wide range of alignment and bite concerns and do not rely on the patient remembering to wear them.
The right option depends on your case
The best treatment depends on tooth position, bite, age, lifestyle, expectations and the complexity of movement required.
A professional orthodontic assessment is required before suitability can be confirmed.
