12 Dec Invisalign Or Traditional Braces- Which One’s Apt For Me?

If you are wondering which works best between traditional braces or Invisalign, you may have loads of questions. As compared to traditional braces, Invisalign has proven to be more effective at correcting crooked teeth which may create a lot of problems such as reduced self esteem, talking and eating too.  Let's Understand How Braces Really Work? Usually braces have the following 3 parts

• Brackets attached to each tooth.
• The archwire exerting a slight force causing the teeth to move.
• A band or bonding

  How Is Invisalign Different From Traditional Braces? 18 times faster than traditional braces, Invisalign is more comfortable and less noticeable than the 'train track' braces of yore. A main difference between traditional braces and Invisalign lie in the way teeth are straightened and the modus operandi of application. Unlike Invisalign, traditional braces cannot be taken off during the treatment. They are removed only after the treatment is over and teeth have reached their positions. Invisalign, on the other hand can be easily taken off for daily activities such as eating.
