Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
| Invisalign® | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|
| Nearly invisible | Metal brackets and wires |
| Removable for eating and brushing | Fixed throughout treatment |
| Smooth, comfortable aligners | May irritate cheeks and gums |
| Fewer adjustment appointments | More frequent adjustments |

Some complex orthodontic conditions may still be better treated with traditional braces. Our doctors will recommend the treatment that offers the best long-term results for your smile.
Why Boston Center for Oral Health Chooses Genuine Invisalign®
Today, many people use the word “Invisalign” to describe any clear aligner. However, not all clear aligner systems are Invisalign®, and not all clear aligners are created equal.
At Boston Center for Oral Health, we proudly provide treatment with the genuine Invisalign® system because of its extensive clinical research, advanced digital treatment planning, and long history of predictable, evidence-based results. Developed by Align Technology, Invisalign® has helped millions of patients worldwide achieve healthier, more confident smiles through continuous innovation and decades of clinical experience.
Our experienced doctors use Invisalign’s proprietary digital treatment planning technology to create highly personalized treatment plans designed for precise, comfortable, and efficient tooth movement. Throughout treatment, we carefully monitor your progress to help achieve the best possible outcome.
Why does this matter?
While many clear aligner systems may appear similar, they differ in technology, materials, treatment planning, and the amount of clinical research supporting their use. Choosing an experienced provider who uses the genuine Invisalign® system gives patients access to one of the world’s most extensively researched clear aligner treatments.
During your consultation, we’ll explain why we’ve chosen Invisalign® and whether it’s the right treatment option for your unique smile. Our priority is always to recommend the treatment that offers the greatest long-term benefit for your oral health, function, and confidence.
Choosing the right clear aligner system is only one part of successful orthodontic treatment. Selecting the treatment that best fits your individual needs is equally important.
When Are Traditional Braces a Better Option?
Although Invisalign® can successfully treat many orthodontic conditions, some complex cases may be better treated with traditional braces. During your consultation, our dentists will recommend the treatment option that is best suited to your specific needs, oral health, and smile goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign®
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most Invisalign treatments are completed within 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized treatment timeline based on your smile goals.
Can Invisalign fix an overbite?
Yes. Invisalign can successfully treat many mild to moderate overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other bite alignment problems. Our dentists will evaluate your bite to determine whether Invisalign is the best treatment option for you.
Can Invisalign close gaps between teeth?
Absolutely. Invisalign is highly effective at closing spaces between teeth while improving both the appearance and function of your smile.
Is Invisalign more comfortable than traditional braces?
Most patients find Invisalign significantly more comfortable because the aligners are made of smooth plastic instead of metal brackets and wires. You may experience mild pressure for a day or two after changing to a new set of aligners, which is a normal sign that your teeth are moving.
How many hours each day should I wear my aligners?
For the best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. Remove them only while eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
What happens if I forget to wear my aligners?
Occasionally forgetting to wear your aligners is usually not a problem. However, wearing them fewer than the recommended 20–22 hours per day can delay your treatment and affect your final results.
Can I drink coffee while wearing Invisalign?
It’s best to remove your aligners before drinking coffee, tea, wine, or any beverage other than water. This helps prevent staining and protects the aligners from heat that may cause them to warp.
Can I chew gum while wearing Invisalign?
No. Gum can stick to the aligners and may damage them. Remove your aligners before chewing gum and replace them afterward.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first few days of treatment, but this usually disappears quickly as your mouth adjusts to wearing the aligners.
Is Invisalign covered by dental insurance?
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that may help cover a portion of Invisalign treatment. Our team will review your insurance benefits, discuss flexible financing options, and explain whether you can use your HSA or FSA toward treatment.
