Most people find that invisible aligners are better than traditional wire and bracket braces. Users tend to find the aligners more comfortable and convenient to use than metal braces, which usually cause more pain and irritation. The greatest advantage of aligners over traditional wire braces is that you can fully remove them which helps with overall oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing tends to be easier with removable braces, reducing the risk of plaque build-up and tooth decay caused by trapped food.

One of the main reasons that patients opt for aligners is that they are almost invisible. As the aligners are transparent they are far less noticeable than wire and bracket braces. This makes invisible braces the popular option for adults who want to straighten their teeth without having a traditional metal brace fitted.

The effectiveness of the treatment is greatly dependent on the patient wearing the aligners for the required length of time a day. The fact that the aligners are removable can therefore also be a disadvantage. If the aligners are removed regularly they are not continually correcting the teeth and treatment may take longer.
