  1. Invisalign vs Braces

  2. Introduction If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you have most likely heard of braces or Invisalign. Both are designed to straighten teeth while improving your smile and overall oral health. However, you might be left wondering which one is more cost-effective and which one will do a better job at straightening your teeth.

  3. Metal Braces Metal Braces are the most common and widely used form of braces, they consist of a metal bracket which is adhered to each individual tooth, connected by a wire which will be tightened to re-adjust your tooth alignment. • Metal braces are extremely efficient at fixing complex issues and typically work faster than Invisalign • The average treatment time with metal braces is from 18 months to 3 years • The brackets and wires will need to be readjusted. • Patients will schedule follow-up visits every 4-8 weeks • There may be mild discomfort after each appointment, but it’s important you do not miss your check-ups

  4. Invisalign Invisalign is the more popular treatment option since they are removable and invisible. This allows you to remove the aligners to eat, brush and floss. The comfortable plastic trays are almost invisible. • Depending on your treatment you might need 12 to 48 trays. • Average treatment time is between 6 and 18 months • You are required to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day • Follow-ups for Invisalign range from 4-6 weeks • You will also change aligners every 1-2 weeks in order to keep up with the shifting of your teeth.
