Do braces work better than invisalign?

Answer 1

No they do not.

There are big disadvantages of Invisalign to consider. The disadvantages of Invisalign may include:

Not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign. The Invisalign system is for adults and cannot be used if baby teeth remain. Children and younger teenagers will require the more traditional orthodontic Braces with metal brackets and wires.

Also the Invisalign system is designed for only certain tooth movements. Your Orthodontist will need to determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign or if you would be better treated with metal Braces or Clear Ceramic Braces.Major tooth movements, skeletal discrepancies, and extensive crown and bridge treatment can influence whether Invisalign is the right choice for you. It may not be.

The cost of Invisalign can sometimes be significantly more than with metal Braces. The computerized custom clear Invisalign Aligners will result in a lab bill for your orthodontist which is passed on to you in the form of your treatment fee. With traditional orthodontic Braces there is the cost of the brackets and wires, but no such lab bill for your Orthodontist to cover.

The Invisalign Aligners are removable and require motivation to be worn consistently. You will need to decide if you have the self discipline to wear the Invisalign Aligners or if you would be better off with non-removable clear Ceramic Braces or Invisible Braces which are hidden on the back of your teeth.

Since the Invisalign Aligners are removable they can be misplaced. Lost Invisalign Aligners may result in an extra charge by your Orthodontist and may delay treatment until your new custom made Invisalign Aligners are replaced. Traditional Braces allow for colors of elastics to be placed on the metal brackets. Some people have fun choosing and changing their colors. For example they choose team colors for football games, or orange and black for Halloween. Invisalignaligners do not involve such traditional colored elastics.

Some patients may experience difficulty adjusting to the feel of the Invisalign Aligners in their mouth. Before spending the cost of the Invisalign treatment, you should decide if you are a patient person who can give some time to adjusting to the new feel of the Invisalign Aligners on your teeth. A few patients may experience some gum irritation with the Invisalign Aligners. You should contact your Orthodontist to discuss the problem if you are having pain of your teeth or gums with Invisalign

If you clean your Invisalign Aligners with denture cleaner be sure to discuss any Allergies with your Orthodontist first. According to the American Association of Orthodontists web site:

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received at least 73 reports of adverse events, including one death, related to the use of denture cleansers. Allergic reactions and misuse of the denture cleansers are the leading causes of the adverse events. Most denture cleansers include the ingredient persulfate, a known allergen. Literature and research suggest persulfate is responsible for the reported allergic reactions. In addition, the FDA has also received reports of severe adverse events, including at least one death, resulting from misuse of the product. Some patients have gargled or swallowed their denture cleanser, which has resulted in abdominal pain, vomiting, seizures, hypotension and difficulty breathing."

In case the Invisalign should not work out for you, then the other options to consider Clear Braces sometimes also called Ceramic Braces. Of course, small metal Bracesare also always available as well.

Answer 2

I have Braces and I think It really does work! Braces work faster than Invisalign! Braces really actually help and they are awesome! You will get used to Braces and it feels like you don't even have them! :D

Answer 3

As Invisalign uses a gentler pressure to shift your teeth than braces and isn't comprised of metal, it usually feels more pleasant. "The majority of patients have never worn braces before experiencing metal in their mouth, and occasionally people suffer pinching or pain that is typically avoided with Invisalign aligners." If you are also looking for premium quality dental aligners then I recommend Univclear which provides the best dental aligners in India.

Hope this will help you !!!!!
