Clear Aligners vs Braces: Which Is Right for You?
Aditi Oro Dental Care 30 October 2026 4 min readBoth straighten teeth effectively. The right choice depends on your bite, lifestyle and discipline — not on which is more fashionable.
Clear aligners
Nearly invisible, removable trays that you change every couple of weeks. They are easy to clean and comfortable, but must be worn about 20–22 hours a day to work.
Traditional braces
Fixed brackets and wires that work around the clock, so they are well suited to complex bite problems and to patients who may not be consistent with removable trays.
How to decide
An orthodontist should assess your bite, jaw and goals first. Mild to moderate crowding is often ideal for aligners; more complex corrections may be better with braces.
