Due to advances in technology, we now have a choice of how we want to move our teeth! This is a GOOD thing and should not cause you stress. Let’s go over the pros and cons of each.

Braces

Pros

• Color choices for your upcoming special event
• Braces are bonded to the teeth so there’s less responsibility

Cons

• Need to avoid certain foods so braces don’t break (mainly hard, sticky, chewy foods)
• More trips to the office if a braces breaks
• Harder to keep clean

Invisalign

Pros

• Aesthetic, most people don’t even know you’re wearing them
• Removable, you can eat whatever you want!
• Easier to keep clean (especially for busy teenagers)
• Protects the teeth at night for patients who grind their teeth

Cons

• Not the right choice for certain challenging cases such as impacted teeth
• No option for colors. Aligners are clear
