Are aligners better than braces?

Clear aligners and traditional braces each have their own advantages, and the best option depends on your specific orthodontic needs. Clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and often more comfortable than braces. However, they require patient compliance—aligners must be worn consistently to be effective. Braces, on the other hand, are fixed and can treat more complex orthodontic cases. If you’re unsure which option is best for you, a consultation with an orthodontist can help determine the right choice for your smile goals.
