The Difference Between Clear Aligners and Metal Braces

Getting things straight!

It’s no secret that there are now more ways than ever to straighten your teeth. While braces are still generally considered the only way to straighten your teeth, clear aligner brands like Invisalign or smile styler are shaking things up in the orthodontic world by offering a clear alternative to the metal wires
How does the Candid experience differ from traditional braces? Here’s how they stack up.

Look and feel

Wearing metal braces as an adult can be a hard pill to swallow. One of the biggest and most obvious advantages of Candid is that the aligners are completely clear, so you can smile without feeling self-conscious.

Beyond aesthetics, Candid clear aligners are made of a smooth, durable plastic that won’t cut up your cheeks and gums when you wear them.

Convenience

Pass the popcorn! Unlike metal braces, you can take clear aligners out while you eat, so you don’t have to skip out on the foods you love.

Even better, without the constant obstruction of metal wires, you can give your teeth a thorough brush before you put your aligners back in
