Book AppointmentShould I Get Braces or Invisalign?
Traditional braces and Invisalign both offer excellent solutions for straightening teeth, each with unique advantages.
Braces are highly effective for addressing more complex alignment issues, thanks to their sturdy design and precise adjustments.
Invisalign, on the other hand, provides a clear, removable option that can fit seamlessly into your life. Many patients find it easier to enjoy meals and maintain oral hygiene with clear aligners.
With both choices, you can achieve healthier, properly aligned teeth tailored to your specific needs. We can discuss the choices in detail with you in your complimentary consultation.
What Can Invisalign Treat?
Each set of clear aligners is worn for approximately 2 weeks before switching to the next set in the series. Over time, your teeth will gradually move into place as planned by your dentist.
The total treatment time varies for each patient, depending on the case’s complexity and how consistently the aligners are worn. Regular check-ins with our team help keep your progress on track.
What Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign can help with a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Mild to moderate alignment issues
Invisalign aligners are removable, making eating, brushing, and flossing easier. They are also very subtle, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly while maintaining your daily routine.
Our team may recommend braces if you have more complex orthodontic needs.
How Long Does Invisalign Take to Work?
Invisalign treatment typically takes 6–18 months to straighten teeth, depending on the complexity of your case.
Factors like the severity of alignment issues and how closely you follow your dentist’s instructions, such as wearing your aligners for 20–22 hours each day, can influence the timeline.
While every smile is unique, Invisalign’s clear aligners work efficiently and discreetly to help you achieve healthier, well-aligned teeth. We’ll provide a personalized plan to keep your progress on track.
Dental Braces for Teens & Adults
If you or your teen are considering orthodontic treatment, traditional braces offer a proven, reliable solution for achieving a healthier smile. Designed to address a wide range of dental alignment issues, braces provide precise, effective care tailored to improve both function and appearance. Here’s what to know about braces and how they can benefit you or your family.
What Bite Issues Do Braces Treat?
Dental braces are especially effective at correcting a variety of bite and alignment concerns, including:
-
- Overbites: The upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth
- Underbites: The lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth
- Crossbites: Where the teeth fail to line up properly
- Severe crowding or spacing issues
By gradually guiding teeth into their ideal positions, braces can not only improve the look of your smile but also enhance jaw alignment and your overall oral health.
How Long Do Braces Take to Work?
Most braces treatments take anywhere from 18–36 months, though this timeline depends on the complexity of your case.
Factors like the severity of your bite issues, how consistently you attend adjustment appointments, and individual growth patterns can all influence the duration of treatment. While braces are a commitment, their ability to provide effective, lasting results has made them a trusted choice for patients of all ages.
Plus, the results involve more than just straighter teeth; improved bite function and easier oral hygiene are benefits that go hand in hand with braces.
Invisalign Vs. Traditional Braces
While Invisalign can be a great option for many, braces often take the leading role when more complex orthodontic challenges are present.
For example, if you or your teen have significant bite issues, severe crowding, or teeth that require intricate movements to align properly, braces may be the better choice.
They provide precise control through their fixed design, which allows for consistent adjustments that guide teeth and jaw alignment over time. Braces are also a dependable option for people who might find it challenging to consistently wear removable aligners.
