Braces vs. Invisalign
Clear aligners can be a great fit for many smiles, especially when you want a removable option. Braces are often the better choice when corrections are more complex, when bite changes are needed, or when you want the most controlled, predictable movement. During your consultation, we’ll explain both paths and what’s best for your case.
