Both straighten teeth, but they’re very different to live with. Here’s an honest comparison of Invisalign and fixed braces, and how in-clinic Invisalign compares with mail-order aligners, so you can choose what’s right for you.

Experienced
Our clinicians have completed more than 10,000 Invisalign cases, from quick Express touch-ups to complex bite correction.
Discreet
Invisalign uses clear aligners that are hard to spot. Braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires.
Removable
Aligners come out to eat, brush and floss. Braces stay on, with foods to avoid and wires to clean around.
Comfort
Smooth aligners with no brackets to rub your cheeks. Each new aligner brings a few days of pressure.
Discipline
Aligners only work when worn 22 hours a day. Braces work all the time, without you having to remember.
For most adults, yes. Invisalign can treat crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites, especially with Invisalign Comprehensive, which uses attachments and elastics for bite correction.
For a small number of very complex cases, fixed braces can still be the better choice, and some severe jaw problems need surgery as well. We’ll tell you honestly at your free consultation and refer you if braces would serve you better.
Mail-order aligners can look cheaper, but they’re usually planned without an in-person examination of your teeth, gums and bite. That matters, because moving unhealthy teeth or ignoring a bite problem can cause problems later.
