What's the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Invisalign uses virtually invisible, removable clear aligners for discreet treatment, while traditional braces use brackets and wires. Invisalign is ideal for busy professionals and teens concerned about appearance, while braces may be better for complex cases. Both options deliver beautiful results. Your orthodontist will recommend the best choice for your smile during your free consultation.
