What Makes Invisalign Different From Braces?

Both Invisalign and traditional braces can straighten your teeth, but the experience is very different. Here is how the two compare:

Appearance

Virtually invisible trays.

Braces: Metal brackets and wires that are easily noticed.

Comfort

SmartTrack® thermoplastic is smooth and gentle.

Braces: Can irritate the lips, cheeks, and gums.

Diet

Remove your aligners to eat whatever you like.

Braces: Requires avoiding crunchy and sticky foods.

Oral hygiene

Brush and floss normally.

Braces: Requires floss threaders and interdental brushes.

Office visits

Invisalign patients in Bala Cynwyd typically check in every six to eight weeks.

Braces: Every four to six weeks with braces.

Treatment time

Many Invisalign cases finish in about 12 months.

Braces: Often takes 18 months or longer.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Clear aligners are a popular choice for both teens and adults. Teens appreciate the discretion during an already self-conscious stage of life, while adults value the ability to straighten their teeth without drawing attention at work or in social settings.

Invisalign may not be the best fit for severe or complex cases. If that applies to you, Dr. Hodges and our team can recommend an alternative from our full range of orthodontic treatments.

Invisalign can treat many of the same concerns as braces. Patients at our Bala Cynwyd, PA, office visit us for help with:

Crowded or Overlapping Teeth

Gaps Between Teeth

Overbites & Underbites

Crossbites & Open Bites

Rotated Teeth

Invisalign FAQ

How long does Invisalign take?

Most patients complete treatment in about 12–24 months, depending on the complexity of their case. During your free consultation at our Bala Cynwyd office, we can give you a more specific estimate.

Can I eat normally with Invisalign?

Yes. You remove your aligners before eating and put them back in when you are done. There are no food restrictions during treatment.

What is the difference between getting Invisalign from an orthodontist vs. a general dentist?

An orthodontist in Philadelphia, PA, completes years of specialized training beyond dental school that focuses on tooth movement and bite alignment. That additional expertise can lead to more precise, longer-lasting results.
