Invisalign and traditional braces both straighten teeth, but they do so in different ways. At Gordon Dental in St. Augustine, FL, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place, making it a more discreet and flexible option. Traditional braces, on the other hand, use metal brackets and wires that are fixed to your teeth and adjusted over time.
One of the main advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing for easier oral hygiene and fewer dietary restrictions. Braces are not removable, which means patients need to be more mindful of certain foods and cleaning techniques.
While Invisalign is ideal for many mild to moderate alignment issues, traditional braces may be recommended for more complex cases. During your visit, our team will evaluate your needs and help you choose the best option for your smile.
