Invisalign or Traditional Braces: Which is Better?
More than 5 million people have chosen Invisalign clear aligners to get their perfect smile.
As we prepare for our exciting Invisalign Flash sale this weekend, March 24, we’re taking a look at the advantages Invisalign offers over traditional braces.
Comfort and Convenience
Invisalign
- Aligners are trimmed to match your gum line for better comfort and appearance.
- You can easily removable the aligners for eating and drinking as well as for brushing and flossing.
- You don’t have to worry about emergency office visits for broken brackets and wires.
Traditional Braces
- Wires and brackets make it difficult to enjoy some of your favorite foods.
- Oral hygiene can suffer as brushing and flossing become cumbersome.
Appearance
Invisalign
- Aligners are virtually invisible.
Traditional Braces
- Due to how noticeable wire braces are, many adults find them embarrassing.
Material
Invisalign
- Made from proprietary SmartTrack® material that allows for more predictable, controlled tooth movements.
Traditional Braces

Compliance for Teens
Invisalign
- Parents can use the blue compliance indicator to ensure teens wear aligners enough.
Traditional Braces
- Parents may not know if teens are wearing bands as instructed.
