Suitability

Clear Aligners is suitable for numerous cases, providing discreet correction with quality results. Conversely, traditional braces are sometimes better for complex cases, but our dentists can assess your needs.

Cost

While at-home aligners are typically more affordable, and braces can be as well, in fact clear aligners can be comparable to braces! Our team will develop a financial plan to fit your treatment and budget and outline any costs.

Flexibility

One of the most appealing features of clear aligners is that they are removable. Of course, at-home aligners are done without dental visits (or much fewer), although the results take longer.

Duration

Clear Aligners and braces can all take a similar amount of time, depending on the needs of your case. We can assess an estimated treatment time. However, dental visits with aligners are much faster than with braces.
