Aligners vs. braces
[Both aligners and braces are effective tools for orthodontic correction. However, modern clear aligners now offer high treatment predictability, reduced chair time, and a more comfortable patient experience — even in complex cases.]
Braces
-
01
More painful
-
02
Cause discomfort and are impossible to remove while eating, drinking & flossing
-
03
Difficult to calculate final treatment duration


Aligners
-
01
Invisible and so can be worn without others noticing
-
02
Start seeing results immediately
-
03
Predictable treatment results and duration




Conclusion

[While braces remain a effective orthodontic solution, their visibility and comfort limitations can affect treatment acceptance across all age groups. Clear aligners offer a clinically validated alternative with high patient acceptance, reduced chair time, and predictable outcomes — suitable for children, teenagers, and adults. With proper case selection and compliance, aligners enable full-scope orthodontic care with improved efficiency.]
