Braces vs. Clear Aligners & Invisalign

Choosing the Right Orthodontic Treatment at Marston OrthodonticsYour Content Goes Here

When it comes to achieving the straight, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, you have more options than ever before. At Marston Orthodontics, Dr. Marston understands that every patient is unique, with different lifestyle needs, aesthetic preferences, and orthodontic goals. Two of the most popular treatment options available today are traditional braces and clear aligners & Invisalign. But how do you know which option is right for you? Let’s explore the benefits of each treatment to help you make an informed decision about your orthodontic journey.

Traditional Braces: Time-Tested and Effective

Traditional braces have been the gold standard in orthodontic treatment for decades, and for good reason. These reliable appliances use metal or ceramic brackets bonded to your teeth and connected by wires that Dr. Marston carefully adjusts throughout your treatment, making them exceptionally effective at correcting even the most complex orthodontic issues, including severe crowding, significant bite problems, and intricate tooth movements requiring precise control.

One of their biggest advantages is that they work around the clock—straightening your teeth 24/7 with no risk of forgetting to wear them—making them ideal for younger patients or anyone who might struggle with the discipline required for removable aligners. Today’s braces are more comfortable and attractive than ever, featuring smaller brackets and options like tooth-colored ceramic that blend seamlessly with your smile. At Marston Orthodontics, we offer a variety of bracket styles to suit both your preferences and your budget.

Clear Aligners & Invisalign: The Clear Alternative

Clear Aligners & Invisalign has transformed orthodontic treatment by providing a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. Using a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners, clear aligners gently moves your teeth into their ideal positions without the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces.

Dr. Marston designs a personalized treatment plan with advanced 3D imaging technology, allowing you to preview your future smile before treatment begins. The discreet appearance of Clear Aligners & Invisalign makes it especially popular among adult professionals, college students, and image-conscious teens, while the removable aligners let you eat freely and maintain excellent oral hygiene with ease—simply take them out to eat, brush, and floss, then put them back in when finished.
