How are clear aligners different from braces?

Clear aligners are nearly invisible, metal-free and effective for mild to moderate cases. *Results and treatment times vary.

  • Nearly Invisible Treatment — Systems like Smile Academy Australia, Invisalign®, Smile Corporation and TP Orthodontics use clear trays that fit snugly over your teeth. This allows you to straighten your teeth without the obvious look of traditional metal braces. 
  • Plastic and Metal-Free — Since they are removable, clear aligner wearers can continue enjoying foods without worrying about breaking a bracket or wire. Wearers can also brush and floss as usual. On top of that, aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, which means they are far less likely to irritate your cheeks and gums compared to traditional braces. 
  • Ideal for Mild to Moderate Cases — Clear aligners can help with treating mild to moderate alignment issues, such as crowded teeth, small gaps or bite irregularities. For more complex cases, like severe misalignment or jaw discrepancies, traditional braces may still be the better solution.
