Invisalign vs. Braces: What’s the Difference?
Both Invisalign clear aligners and braces are effective ways to straighten teeth and correct bite issues, but they differ in appearance, flexibility, and how treatment is delivered. During your consultation, Dr. Nader Ehsani or Dr. Sherry Sabet will help you decide which option best fits your needs, lifestyle, and goals.
Braces:
- Remain fixed to the teeth throughout treatment
- Highly effective for complex alignment and bite correction
- No need to remove or keep track of appliances
- Available in more discreet options, such as ceramic braces and Damon self-ligating braces
Invisalign:
- Nearly invisible for a more discreet appearance
- Removable for meals, brushing, and flossing
- No food restrictions
- Smooth, comfortable aligners without metal brackets or wires.
Best Orthodontic Options for Each Age Range
Different stages of life benefit from different orthodontic treatments. Our team carefully considers growth, lifestyle, and long-term goals when recommending care.
Kids & Early Teens (Ages 7–13):
Metal braces or Damon self-ligating braces are often ideal during active growth to guide proper alignment and bite development.
Teens (Ages 13–17):
Ceramic braces provide a more subtle look, while Invisalign Teen offers a removable, flexible option for suitable cases.
Adults (18+):
Invisalign clear aligners are popular for discreet treatment, while ceramic or Damon braces provide efficient tooth movement for more complex needs.
No matter your age, there is an effective orthodontic solution designed to support a healthy, confident smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right orthodontic treatment can feel overwhelming. These FAQs address common questions patients ask when comparing braces and clear aligners.
How Do I Know Which Type of Braces Is Best for My Smile?
The best option depends on your alignment needs, bite complexity, lifestyle, and personal preferences. During your consultation, your orthodontist will evaluate your teeth and recommend the most effective treatment for your case.
Are Ceramic Braces as Effective as Metal Braces?
Yes. Ceramic braces work just as effectively as metal braces for many orthodontic cases. The main difference is appearance and the level of care required to keep them clean.
Do Damon Braces Work Faster Than Traditional Braces?
Damon braces can improve efficiency and comfort for certain patients by reducing friction and the need for elastic ties. Treatment time varies based on individual needs.
Can Adults Get Braces or Clear Aligners?
Absolutely. Many adults choose orthodontic treatment to improve function, comfort, and confidence. Both braces and Invisalign can be effective for adult patients.
Can I Switch from Braces to Invisalign During Treatment?
In some cases, a transition may be possible, but it depends on treatment progress and clinical factors. Your orthodontist will advise if a change is appropriate.
