Which is better? Braces or Invisalign?

Which is better? Braces or Invisalign? Is one treatment more desirable than the other, you may wonder? We’ll look at the answers.

If you are in the Traverse City, Michigan area, you can get world-class custom braces or Invisalign treatment. Dr. Ronald R. Lints, DDS, MS, is now a certified Diamond Provider with Invisalign. Therefore, he’s among the top providers in Michigan and the world.

Also, Dr. Lints is a board-certified orthodontist, helping families in the Traverse City area since 1989. Today, he offers the latest technologies, including modern braces that are sleek, discreet, and more efficient than ever.

Braces or Invisalign?

So, are braces or Invisalign better? The short answer: No. Both orthodontic treatments can result in a beautiful, healthy smile to enjoy for a lifetime. 

Also, both treatments tend to cost around the same. Furthermore, braces and Invisalign tend to take around the same amount of time in many cases. 

Therefore, we can’t say that one treatment is necessarily better because they can both lead to the ultimate goal: a stunning smile. 

Keep in mind, each smile is unique, so that Invisalign may be ideal for one person and not for another. To determine which treatment will get the best results in the least amount of time, you need an experienced orthodontist.

Dr. Lints designs a custom treatment plan for each patient, depending on their unique smile features. Once he assesses your smile and learns about your goals, he will work with you to determine if Invisalign or braces would be the best method of treatment.

Braces and Invisalign are Better Than Ever

Today, Invisalign and braces are both advanced and better than ever. Long gone are the days of the “metal mouth” look with a streamlined, discreet appearance as a rule. Today, braces are more comfortable and get incredible results for all kinds of smiles.

One advantage of Invisalign is you can take out the aligners during treatment. Thus, you can eat more of your favorite foods and brush your teeth with no wires in the way. However, one must also be disciplined, wearing the aligners for 22 hours a day. Plus, you must keep track of them and care for them whenever you take them out.

In cases that require more advanced correction, Dr. Lints may recommend braces. However, his advanced experience with Invisalign means he’s able to treat more cases with aligners. Before any treatment, we’ll go over all the options and design the perfect plan for you.
