Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces: Pros and Cons

clear aligners offer a discreet and comfortable option for mild to moderate cases but may be more costly and require strict adherence to wearing them. Traditional braces are highly effective for complex cases, often covered by insurance, but are more visible and require careful maintenance and dietary adjustments. The choice between the two depends on individual preferences, the severity of the orthodontic issues, and the guidance of an orthodontist.
