What is the difference between invisible braces and metal braces?
Many people struggle to decide between getting Invisalign and traditional braces for their orthodontic treatment. It’s a conversation we have in our office again and again, as we help patients weigh the pros and cons of each option. Ultimately, every patient is different and the best option comes down to your lifestyle, your preferences, and your orthodontic needs. Here’s what to consider when you’re making your decision. The treatment time for Invisalign is often shorter than the treatment time for braces. In addition, there are no sharp metal components inside your mouth. Damaged wires and brackets are not an issue with Invisalign, so emergency visits are not required. Traditional metal braces are slightly more affordable than Invisalign. While the cost of Invisalign is covered by more and more insurance companies, you’re still more likely to have a little more coverage for metal braces. If cost is a concern, metal braces come out the winner here.
