Choosing between traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners can feel overwhelming. At Clinton Dental Group, we make it easy! Let’s explore the benefits of each to help you make the best choice.
Braces: Tried and True

Pros:
Effective for complex orthodontic issues
Often covered by insurance
No risk of losing removable aligners

More challenging oral hygiene maintenance
Invisalign: Clear and Convenient
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners designed specifically for your teeth.
Pros:
Virtually invisible
Removable for eating and brushing
