Differences Between Invisalign and Braces A lot of us are not fortunate to have a perfectly aligned set of teeth. Buck teeth are a phenomenon that affects many of us. Characterized by obtusely angled teeth in the front of either only the upper jaw or both the upper and lower jaw, buck teeth can be a spoiler of one’s looks. Fortunately, orthodontics has advanced to the point that one gets rid of such an unpleasant medical condition. Unlike a few years ago, we have more than one option in choosing the right solution for achieving the natural alignment of our teeth. Braces and Invisalign treatment in south east London are the two solutions one which you can opt from and get the most perfect and natural-looking smile. Below are the differences between Invisalign and braces that will shed some light on them to help you decide which one to go for. 1- Discreetness The traditional wire braces look very conspicuous and give out their presence while smiling. It means they counteract the very reason you may think of using them in the first place. Nevertheless, braces are to be worn for a year and a half to two—patience pays it off well. Invisalign treatment in south east London, on the other hand, gives complete discreetness; during the whole term of using this orthodontic solution, you don’t need to worry about people noticing its presence. 2- Detachability While wearing braces, it is like a term-end contract you have signed. You, therefore, cannot remove the wires from the teeth; they are glued onto the surface of the teeth. It can hamper your routine oral activities like brushing, flossing, chewing certain food items, etc. Invisalign treatment in south east London, on the other hand, is unique in this aspect. You can remove the Invisalign any time, be it for a close-up, sharing a valuable moment with your partner, or dining with pals. 3- Cost differences Braces are a less expensive solution for teeth alignment. The age-old method is still the most sought-after for straightening and lining up the teeth. The procedure of fitting braces is time-consuming and painstaking. The easy availability of braces, their widespread use, and less market-permeation of Invisalign treatment in south east London make braces a relatively inexpensive solution.
