Invisalign braces vs. tratitional metal braces...?

Question

Do they both do the same job? My dentist said that invisalign braces would work for me, but would the traditional metal braces do a better job? Or would the outcome pretty much be the same? thanks!

Answer 1

there is a big difference between the two if you are asking about the effectivity of the appliance. invisalign is removable while the metal braces are fixed to the teeth. with invisalign you can remove it when you eat, when you want to clean it or sometimes just when you dont want to be seen wearing this --- with the metal braces you can not do these things.
if your teeth only needs minor re alignment then i guess this ok but when you really have a lot of things to be done with the teeth then the metal braces would be the best choice. your orthodontist really knows best...good luck...

Answer 2

I would recommend metal braces for you, invisalign are more focused on adults because they want to keep it clear and not showing becuz its kinda embarrassing for adults to wear metal braces. What is quicker? Invisalign probably for sure. Invis~ cost 1.5 - 9 grand but insurance may cover 1.5-2 grand Metal braces - typical cost is 3-7 grand Im pretty sure metal braces show better results simply because they are permanent, the invis~ you need to take off and on when eating and all, then cleaning them, this doesnt keep the teeth together. I had metal braces for about a year and fixed my teeth good, it didnt hurt to "install" but took a while and they hurt at first when you wear them fora bout a week, also hurt when you get fixes and when they make it stronger, etc. invisalign is for minor movement and may not be an option if ur teeth are really messed up, you gotta talk with them first

Answer 3

invisalign, , braces are horrible and do a number on your jaw joints
