Invisalign® vs. Traditional Braces

When it comes to orthodontic treatment, Invisalign® offers several advantages over traditional braces. Although traditional braces remain an effective option, many adults feel uncomfortable with their aesthetic experience, especially in social and professional settings. Invisalign® eliminates the need for brackets and wires, using a series of optically clear plastic aligners to straighten your teeth instead. When the aligners are on, they are virtually unnoticeable at a glance.

The average Invisalign treatment period is 12 to 18 months, which is often shorter than the treatment period for traditional braces. The design of Invisalign® provides many other advantages over metal braces, including:

• Can be removed when you need to eat
• Easier dental hygiene
• Less discomfort
• No risk of soft tissue irritation from wires or brackets

During your initial consultation, our Philadelphia Invisalign® dentist Dr. Lindsey Marshall can help you determine if Invisalign® is the best orthodontic option for you.
