When you make a comparison of Invisalign vs braces, it is clear which one is better. Patients enjoy much more freedom with the Invisalign clear removable aligner method. Aligners can be removed and replaced so that patients can brush and floss normally. Metal braces can only be removed by a dental health care professional so patients with metal braces have more difficulty cleaning their teeth. Patients with traditional orthodontic brackets and bands sometimes get tooth decay as a result of this problem.

          Another Invisalign vs braces difference is that plastic aligners are clear and can not be seen whereas traditional orthodontic appliances are metal and are very apparent. They can be removed for special occasions and immediately replaced. Because all of the tooth movement is precisely planned, Invisalign braces often offer a shorter treatment time.

          An Invisalign patient does not usually have to visit the dental office as much as a patient with traditional orthodontics. Again this Invisalign vs braces difference is significant is you are a busy professional with limited time. It also allows for longer periods away for business trips and other important activities. Because every individual tooth movement is planned with computer software, Invisalign treatment often takes less time than traditional braces.
