Teeth braces vs Invisalign

Traditional braces consist of metal brackets that are attached to the teeth, connected by wires that are periodically tightened by the orthodontist. These wires gradually shift the teeth into better alignment. The brackets are usually made of stainless steel, although other materials such as ceramic can be used for a more discreet appearance. Braces are fixed to the teeth, meaning they cannot be removed by the patient, which ensures constant pressure on the teeth throughout the treatment process. This makes braces particularly effective for complex dental issues, such as severe crowding or misalignment.
