Invisalign vs. Clear Braces

Exploring Invisalign vs. Clear Braces in Queens NY at Bayside Dental Arts with Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev? Here are the key differences between these discreet orthodontic options.

What are Clear Braces? Clear braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets and wires, making them less visible than metal braces.

Key Differences Between Invisalign and Clear Braces:

Visibility: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. Clear braces are less noticeable than metal but still visible. Invisalign offers more discretion, as determined by Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev.

Removability: Invisalign aligners are removable. Clear braces are fixed and cannot be removed by the patient. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will discuss the implications.

Comfort: Invisalign’s smooth plastic aligners are generally more comfortable than clear braces with brackets and wires. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev prioritizes comfort.

Food Restrictions: No restrictions with Invisalign (remove to eat). Clear braces may have restrictions similar to metal braces. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will provide guidance.

Oral Hygiene: Easier with Invisalign due to removability. Clear braces require more careful cleaning around brackets and wires. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev and our team will provide instructions.

Treatment Approach: Invisalign uses a series of custom aligners. Clear braces use brackets and wires adjusted by Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev.

Treatment Duration and Complexity: Varies for both. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will assess your needs to determine the best timeline. Both treat a range of issues, but complex cases might need traditional braces.

Cost: Can be similar for both. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will provide a detailed estimate.

Who is a good candidate? Invisalign is often preferred for maximum discretion and removability. Clear braces are a less noticeable fixed option suitable for a wider range of issues. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will determine the best choice for you.
