Why Choose Dental Aligners?
We design aligners to correct issues like crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, as well as bite misalignments—offering a clear and less noticeable solution. Moreover, unlike traditional braces, aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss.
In addition, we ensure each set moves your teeth gradually and comfortably over time, providing an efficient and convenient option for anyone seeking a better smile and oral health.
How do traditional braces compare to clear aligners?
Different filling materials are available to meet your dental needs, including durability, aesthetics, and the location of the tooth. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on your specific condition, personal preferences, and oral health goals.
| Comparison | Traditional Braces | Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces) |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | The duration of treatment with traditional braces varies widely and generally takes longer than with aligners. This is dependent on the complexity of the dental issues being corrected. | The treatment time with clear aligners is usually shorter compared to traditional braces. However, the exact duration depends on how consistently the aligners are worn and the specific alignment issues being addressed. |
| Comfort | Traditional braces can be uncomfortable, especially after adjustments. The metal brackets can cause irritation to the inside of the mouth, and the tightening process can lead to discomfort. | Clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces. They are custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth and have no sharp edges, reducing the risk of irritation to the mouth. |
| Visibility | Traditional braces are highly noticeable due to their metal brackets and wires, which are evident when smiling or talking. | Clear aligners are almost invisible as they are made from a clear plastic material. This makes them a discreet option, as they are only noticed if one looks closely. |
| Removability | These braces are non-removable and are fixed to the teeth for the entire duration of the treatment, which can range from a few months to several years. | One of the major advantages of clear aligners is their removability. Users can remove them while eating, brushing, and flossing, which allows for better dental hygiene and more freedom in food choices. |
| Oral Hygiene | Maintaining oral hygiene with traditional braces can be challenging. The brackets and wires can trap food particles, making it difficult to clean the teeth thoroughly. This requires meticulous brushing and flossing techniques. | Since clear aligners are removable, maintaining oral hygiene is straightforward. Users can clean their teeth as usual without needing special tools or techniques. |
