Braces vs Invisalign: Understanding Your Options
If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, one of the first questions you’ll face is whether braces or Invisalign is the better option. Both are highly effective, but the right choice depends on your specific needs, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
At Amesbury Orthodontics, we personalize every treatment plan—because no two smiles are the same.
What Are Braces?
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever.
Braces may be ideal if you:
- Have complex alignment or bite issues
- Want the most precise tooth movement
- Prefer a treatment that doesn’t require daily removal
Braces work around the clock and are often the fastest option for more involved cases.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-designed to gently shift your teeth.
Invisalign may be right for you if you:
- Want a discreet treatment option
- Prefer removable aligners for eating and cleaning
- Have mild to moderate orthodontic concerns
- Have mild to moderate orthodontic concerns
Many adults and teens love Invisalign for its flexibility and appearance.
