There is no universal solution: the choice between braces and aligners depends both on the patient’s preferences and on the orthodontist’s experience with these techniques.
Today, clear aligners are as effective as braces in the vast majority of cases. They have the advantage of being more discreet, more comfortable, and applying gentler forces on the teeth. In some situations, they can also be combined with other devices to enhance their effect.
Traditional braces remain a valid option, but they have become less essential than in the past. What matters most is that the treatment is adapted to each situation, taking into account the case’s complexity and the patient’s lifestyle.
