Teeth alignment
Clear Aligners vs Braces
Both aligners and braces move teeth. Their appearance, removability and suitability for specific tooth movements are different.
Clear aligners
Aligners are removable and discreet, but depend heavily on consistent wear. They may not be the best tool for every bite or tooth movement.
Braces
Braces remain attached and can be useful for a broad range of orthodontic movements. They require careful cleaning and regular adjustment.
Making the choice
Your bite, complexity, age, routine and priorities should guide the recommendation—not appearance alone.
