Conventional Orthodontics (Brackets)
It uses metal or ceramic brackets that are bonded to the teeth.
An archwire connects the brackets and applies pressure to gradually move the teeth.
It requires regular visits to the orthodontist for archwire adjustments and progress monitoring.
Advantages:
Effective for a wide range of alignment problems, even the most complex ones.
Greater control by the orthodontist over tooth movement.
Generally less expensive than aligners.
Disadvantages:
Less aesthetic due to visible brackets and wires.
Can cause discomfort and chafing in the mouth.
Requires dietary restrictions to avoid damaging the brackets.
Dental hygiene is more complex.
Orthodontics with Aligners (Invisalign)
It uses a series of custom-made, removable, clear aligners.
Each aligner is worn for a specific period (usually two weeks) and then replaced with the next.
The aligners apply gentle pressure to gradually move teeth.
It also requires regular visits to the orthodontist, but less frequently than conventional orthodontics.
Advantages:
Highly aesthetic, almost invisible.
Comfortable and less irritating than braces.
Removable, which makes dental hygiene and eating easier.
In some cases, treatment time may be shorter.
Disadvantages:
Can be more expensive than conventional orthodontics.
Requires discipline to wear the aligners for the recommended length of time (20-22 hours a day).
Not suitable for all cases of malocclusion, especially the more complex ones.
In summary:
Conventional orthodontics is a proven and effective option for a wide range of dental problems, while aligners offer a more aesthetic and comfortable alternative.
The choice between the two treatments will depend on the patient's individual needs and preferences, as well as the orthodontist's evaluation.
