What are the advantages of clear aligners over braces?

Hello,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern.

Actually, there is a huge difference between them. Let us talk about braces; they are fixed and fast-setting compared to aligners because as they are fixed, they do their work, whereas aligners are to be kept by ourselves except for eating and brushing. Aligners come in a package of many sets according to your treatment span, 10 to 15 sets or more. They will give you a format like you have to use this set for this span, and later they do not get set because they do some action.

Coming to oral hygiene, as they are fixed, extra oral hygiene should be taken, like rinsing the mouth and being conscious about what got stuck in between the teeth and braces. Whereas aligners are easy to wash your mouth after, and as they are invisible, you can smile and speak confidently without waiting for a good smile.

Comparatively, if you are looking for fast alignment, go for braces. If aesthetics matter, go for aligners. In my opinion, metal braces are a beneficial option because each month, you undergo checkups under the guidance of the doctor, whereas aligners seem like a process without any direct doctor involvement. Think for yourself. You may think, 'How can I hide my smile if I put braces?' Nowadays, COVID has changed our lives more than we think. You can manage with a mask. Your choice, anything is fine.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
