Both straighten teeth effectively, but they suit different people and cases. This guide compares Invisalign and braces so you can choose with confidence.
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners โ discreet and convenient, but they rely on you wearing them 20โ22 hours a day. Braces are fixed, so they work continuously without depending on your discipline, and they handle complex movements that aligners sometimes can't.
The best choice depends on your case, lifestyle and preferences. Discretion-conscious adults often prefer Invisalign; complex cases or younger patients may do better with braces. At Rahouly Dental Clinic we'll assess your teeth and recommend honestly.
