Invisalign aligners are computer generated from dental impressions to guide your teeth into alignment.
What’s the Difference between Invisalign and Braces?
Traditional braces will also move your teeth into proper alignment but there are a few differences.
- Visually – Invisalign are clear, BPA-free plastic and are less noticeable. Especially adults prefer these to continue their professional appearance but still correct their misalignment.
- Convenience – Traditional braces can only be removed in the dentist’s office by a dental professional. Invisalign can be easily removed for eating, drinking, and cleansing teeth. Invisalign must be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours a day in order to achieve the desired results in the time estimated.
- Length – Traditional braces usually are on for about 2 years, while Stittsville Invisalign averages 6 to 18 months.
- Cost – Metal braces are the least expensive option, with Invisalign next, and ceramic braces as the highest cost.
