Aligners vs Traditional Braces

May 19, 2025 · 5 min read

Traditional fixed braces use brackets and wires to move teeth and are effective for a wide range of alignment and bite issues, including complex cases. Ceramic braces offer a more discreet, tooth-coloured alternative.

Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, making them popular with adults. They suit many mild to moderate cases but require disciplined wear — typically 20–22 hours per day.

The right choice depends on the complexity of your case, your lifestyle, and your preferences. Your orthodontic consultation will help you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are aligners faster than braces?

Not necessarily — treatment time depends on case complexity, not the appliance type alone.
