Many pages could be written on the differences between braces and Invisalign. Patients initially intrigued by Invisalign, having resisted conventional appliances for so long, often ask if braces would be more effective. There is no simple answer to this, and any orthodontist who gives a stock answer is unfamiliar with Invisalign.
First, understand that both braces and the Invisalign aligners are tools that permit similar alignment of teeth. With braces, the force required to move a tooth is delivered via tension provided by elastics or metal wires, to a point of force located in the center of each brace. Aligners provide force as each subsequent tray is fabricated with the tooth positions slightly straighter than the prior aligner, the force being placed over the entire surface of each tooth.
