Invisalign or Braces? Does it make a difference?

Invisalign or braces? Does it make a difference? Both are effective orthodontic treatments. And, both treatments can help you achieve a fantastic smile. Therefore, Invisalign and modern braces are both excellent ways to improve your health and get the smile of your dreams.

Dr. Lints Orthodontics provides top-quality, affordable Invisalign and braces in the Traverse City, Suttons Bay, and Elk Rapids area.

Let’s look at how Invisalign and braces are different.

Invisalign Vs. Braces

One main difference between Invisalign and braces is you can take out the aligners. On the other hand, braces always remain attached to your teeth throughout treatment. Therefore, you have to be a little more careful about what you eat with braces. Plus, it’s a little harder to clean around braces thoroughly.

This difference gives Invisalign a bit more convenience. With clear aligners, you can generally eat what you like. However, it’s still a good idea to avoid sugary foods and drinks. Plus, it’s essential to avoid hot liquids while wearing Invisalign since the thin SmartTrack material can warp.

Although Invisalign comes out, you still need to wear the aligners as much as possible, including at night. With Invisalign and braces, sticking to the rules helps your treatment go faster. Notably, both treatments are faster and more comfortable than ever. 

Braces and Invisalign are Discreet

Today’s modern braces are much sleeker and discreet. Thus, they can rival Invisalign in that regard. Both teenagers and adults appreciate how discreet today’s braces and Invisalign look. Thus, you can feel more confident while you work on your smile.

Today’s braces are also more efficient and comfortable than in the past. So, you can get results in less time. Plus, both braces and Invisalign are affordable with flexible financing options. In many cases, insurance may cover part of your treatment. However, you don’t require insurance to get affordable treatment.
