Invisalign vs. Braces: What’s the Difference?
Both Invisalign and braces straighten teeth effectively, but they differ in appearance, flexibility, and treatment style.
Braces:
- Remain fixed to the teeth
- Excellent for complex alignment or bite issues
- No need to worry about removing or losing trays
- Options available for more discreet treatment (ceramic, Damon)
Invisalign:
- Nearly invisible
- Removable for meals and oral hygiene
- No food restrictions
- Smooth trays without metal brackets
During your consultation, Dr. Ehsani or Dr. Sabet will explain which option best matches your goals, orthodontic needs, and lifestyle.
Best Orthodontic Options for Each Age Range
Different stages of life may benefit from different orthodontic treatments.
Kids & Early Teens (Ages 7–13):
Metal braces or Damon braces can offer predictable results during growth.
Teens (Ages 13–17):
Ceramic braces are a popular, subtle option, and Invisalign may be recommended for teens who are responsible with wear.
Adults (18+):
Many adults choose Invisalign for discreet treatment, while ceramic or Damon braces are great for patients who want fixed appliances.
No matter your age, there is an effective orthodontic option for your smile.
