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.]

Ordoline Aligners

Braces

[Ordoline is a clinically validated clear aligner system designed for full-range orthodontic treatment — from mild to complex malocclusions. It offers predictable outcomes, patient comfort, and minimal chair time through digitally planned protocols and high material precision.]

[Braces are fixed appliances that apply mechanical forces through brackets and wires. They are effective for all malocclusion types but typically require more frequent follow-ups, higher patient management, and pose hygiene and comfort challenges.]

[Aesthetic solution]

[(nearly invisible)]

[High visibility]

(possible sores and wounds)

Teeth extractions are often avoidable

[Teeth extractions often indicated]

Less patients appointments

(every 3-4 months)

[Regular clinic visits]

(almost every month)

Hardly any emergencies

Emergency visits are often needed

(to fix broken or detached brackets)

Cannot be removed

[No interference with oral hygiene]

Difficult to brush teeth

(plaque may build up around braces)

More predictable treatment results and treatment duration
