Both braces and clear aligners can straighten teeth. Fixed braces are attached to the teeth and work for a wide range of cases. Clear aligners are removable trays that are less visible but rely on being worn consistently.
The best choice depends on your teeth, lifestyle and goals. A consultation will help you compare appearance, comfort, care routine and expected treatment time.
