If you’re ready to finally enjoy straighter, healthier teeth, you still have one important decision to make: are traditional braces or Invisalign aligners best?

The answer is, “it depends.”

Advantages of Conventional Braces

Here the thing: Traditional bracket-and-wire systems make it straightforward to bring your bite into alignment. Anything from minor crowding to major spacing concerns can be addressed.

Today, you even have the option of selecting ceramic brackets that blend in with the colour of your teeth, making them less noticeable.

Conventional braces work well on adults, teens, and children alike. They’re extremely predictable and one of the most cost-savvy treatments when it comes to orthodontic treatment in Sydney CBD.

The Downside to Braces

Perhaps the biggest concern of Sydney braces-wearers is cleaning around their appliances. Since everything is fixed in place, you’ll need to slightly alter your diet and home care routine. But as long as you don’t mind using an electric toothbrush or water flosser, you can get by just fine!

Occasionally, you may have the random appliance or wire that rubs the inside of your mouth. Typically, your cheeks and lips get used to braces over time, but it can help to have some orthodontic wax on hand for occasional irritation.

Most of the time, you could still eat and drink as per usual.

So, fret not!

Advantages of Invisalign

Clear, removable Invisalign trays are one of the most subtle ways to straighten your teeth. 

The transparent materials make them almost invisible so that you can wear them all day, no matter where you are.

Invisalign, for example, is easier to clean and care for since the trays are removable. You won’t have to adjust your diet, since you could remove the aligners during mealtime.

Furthermore, your digitally-mapped treatment is planned in advance, you can plan your progress and watch your smile aligned along the way!

Most people describe Invisalign as more comfortable than braces, since there are no fixed appliances or monthly adjustments.

Downside of Invisalign

Wearing Invisalign requires dedication. If you have a hard time remembering to wear your trays, knowing when to change them out, or misplacing them during meals, they may not be right for you. That’s why Invisalign treatment for younger patients is typically determined on a case-by-case basis.

Aligners can get misplaced, broken, or warp when exposed to high temperatures. As long as you keep up with them properly, these issues tend to be minor.
