A stunningly straight smile is undoubtedly one of the best accessories anyone can possess. That’s why we encourage you to consider orthodontics if crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth keep you from flashing a confident smile.

When it comes to orthodontic treatment, you have choices. Let’s look closer at traditional metal braces and Invisalign clear aligners (this form of discreet orthodontic treatment is available at CDC Dental).

Invisalign Clear Aligners: The Clear Choice for a Discreet Smile Transformation

Aesthetic Appeal

Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them ideal for adults and teenagers who value discretion during treatment.

Removability

Enjoy the freedom to eat, drink, brush, and floss without the hassle of brackets and wires. These aligners are easily removable.

Comfort

Made of smooth, comfortable plastic, Invisalign aligners reduce the likelihood of mouth sores and irritation often associated with metal braces.

Convenience

Treatment typically requires fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces. Each custom-made aligner brings you closer to a straighter smile.

Choosing the Right Option for You

Consider these factors when deciding between traditional metal braces and Invisalign clear aligners:

Severity of Orthodontic Issues: Traditional braces may be more suitable for complex cases, while Invisalign treatment is often recommended for milder to moderate issues.
Appearance: If you prioritise a discreet treatment option, Invisalign aligners may be the perfect fit for you.
Compliance: Invisalign aligners require commitment, as they should be worn 20-22 hours daily. If you’re dedicated to compliance, they can yield excellent results.
Comfort: Invisalign aligners offer a comfortable alternative without any sharp wires or brackets.
Maintenance: Traditional braces may require more diligent oral care and can be trickier to clean due to their fixed nature.
