Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

Considering Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces in Queens NY with Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev at Bayside Dental Arts? Here’s a comparison to help you decide.

Appearance: Invisalign is virtually invisible. Traditional braces with metal brackets and wires are more noticeable.

Comfort: Invisalign’s smooth plastic aligners are generally more comfortable than the brackets and wires of traditional braces. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev prioritizes patient comfort.

Removability: Invisalign aligners are removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Traditional braces are fixed.

Food Restrictions: No food restrictions with Invisalign (remove aligners to eat). Traditional braces have food restrictions to prevent damage. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will discuss this.

Oral Hygiene: Easier with Invisalign as aligners are removed for normal brushing and flossing. Traditional braces require more careful cleaning. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev and our team provide guidance.

Treatment Duration: Varies for both depending on the case. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will provide an estimated timeline for both options if applicable.

Effectiveness: Both are effective. However, traditional braces might be better for very complex cases. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will recommend the best approach.

Number of Dental Visits: Invisalign may require slightly fewer visits. Regular check-ups with Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev are needed for both.

Cost: Can be similar for both, depending on complexity and length. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will provide a detailed cost breakdown.

Who is a good candidate? Invisalign is often preferred for mild to moderate issues and those wanting discretion. Traditional braces can be better for complex cases or those less likely to comply with removable aligners. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev will determine your candidacy.
