Do braces move your teeth faster than Invisalign®?

When braces may work faster

Traditional braces are often the quicker option when we're correcting more complex issues - things like significant crowding, large gaps, or tricky bite problems.

Because they're fixed in place and always working, they can sometimes achieve these bigger movements a little faster.

When Invisalign^® can be just as efficient

Invisalign^®, on the other hand, can be just as efficient for mild to moderate cases. The key factor is how consistently the aligners are worn. They need to be in for 20-22 hours a day to stay on track, so if you're very disciplined, the timing can be very similar to braces.

Here's a simple way to look at it:

More complex corrections - braces may be better

Straightforward movements + great aligner wear - Invisalign^® could be for you
