What are better than braces?

Braces can achieve a better result than Invisalign. Braces have more strength to move teeth to the desired position. Invisalign is limited in terms of the number of teeth that can be moved at one time. Treatment with braces can be much faster because, unlike Invisalign, which depends on the patient's needs, metal braces are immovable.

Braces are very efficient when it comes to solving complex dental problems, and they can align teeth and close gaps much faster than Invisalign. Although it varies, patients generally wear braces for 18 months to 3 years. After a relatively short period of time, you'll notice the movement of misaligned teeth, which can go a long way to boosting your confidence. With Invisalign, your treatment can last 6 to 18 months if you wear the aligners 22 to 24 hours a day.

However, Invisalign tends to be more comfortable than traditional orthodontic appliances because it puts less pressure on the teeth overall. Braces can also have sharp edges that can cut through the inner lip and tongue. In fact, in many cases, Invisalign is faster than braces. Invisalign treatment can last as little as 3 months and the average duration is 12 to 18 months, depending on the severity of your case.
