Considering orthodontic treatment but unsure of the options? Most patients can be treated with braces or clear aligners (such as Invisalign or Angel Aligner) and achieve a great result. It is up to you and your family to decide which treatment option meets your lifestyle.
Aligners (such as Invisalign or Angel Aligner):
- are easier to brush and floss than brackets
- require no food restrictions because they are removable
- are more comfortable on the lips, cheeks, and tongue
- are generally faster than braces
- require fewer in-office visits
- are almost invisible
Brackets (braces) are a great option if:
- you don’t want to remember to put them on and take them off
- you want to express your personality with different, fun colours
- you need jaw surgery that requires brackets and wires
