Braces and Invisalign clear aligners are both types of orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth and correct misaligned bites. Both methods use a system of brackets, wires, and/or clear aligners to gradually move the teeth into the desired position.

Braces are the more traditional option and consist of metal brackets that are bonded to the teeth and connected by a wire. The wire is tightened over time to gradually move the teeth into the desired position.

Invisalign clear aligners are a newer option that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth. The aligners are custom-made to fit individual teeth.

Both braces and Invisalign clear aligners are effective at straightening teeth and correcting misaligned bites. However, Invisalign aligners are generally more comfortable and less noticeable than braces. Consult with an orthodontist to determine the best treatment option for you.
