Spanish Invisalign vs Traditional Braces
Understand the distinctions that separate metal wire braces from modern clear aligners in this educational video by Dr. Amelia Aristodemo.
At our office, we offer both Invisalign and traditional braces to cater to our patients’ varying needs and preferences. When considering the difference between the two options in terms of diet and oral hygiene, there are some key distinctions to note.
With Invisalign’s removable aligners, cleaning your teeth is straightforward as you can easily remove the aligners to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would. In contrast, maintaining oral hygiene with traditional braces can be more challenging due to the brackets and wires, requiring extra care and effort to clean around them. Additionally, certain foods may need to be avoided with traditional braces to prevent damage or discomfort.
Invisalign offers several advantages, including being virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and less likely to cause irritation to the gums and tissues compared to traditional braces with metal brackets and wires. However, the treatment duration for both options is generally similar.
Ultimately, the choice between Invisalign and traditional braces depends on individual factors such as lifestyle, preferences, and orthodontic needs. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through this decision-making process and recommending the best treatment option to suit your specific circumstances.
