Aligners or braces for teenagers and adults?

3 minute read. By the dentists at Sai Sharma Dental Clinic.

Both aligners and braces straighten teeth well. The best option depends on the problem, lifestyle and how reliably the trays will be worn.

Aligners are clear and removable. They are popular with adults and older teenagers, make brushing easy and have no food restrictions. They only work if worn about 22 hours a day.

Braces are fixed, so they work all the time. They handle some complex bite problems more predictably and suit younger patients who may forget to wear trays. Ceramic braces are less visible than metal.

Whichever you choose, the retainer at the end matters as much as the treatment. Teeth naturally try to move back.

An orthodontic consultation with photos and a scan will show which method suits your teeth.
