Braces vs Aligners in Chandigarh: Which Should You Choose for a Straighter Smile?
In 2025, more people than ever are seeking orthodontic treatment in Chandigarh to achieve a confident, straighter smile. But with so many options available — especially traditional braces vs clear aligners like Invisalign — many patients ask us:
“Which is better: braces or aligners?”
At Advanced Dental Care Center, our goal is to guide you through the best treatment suited to your lifestyle, goals, and budget. Let’s explore the pros, cons, and differences between braces and aligners to help you make an informed decision.
🦷 What Are Braces?
Braces are a time-tested orthodontic solution using metal or ceramic brackets fixed to your teeth, connected by wires that gently move teeth into alignment.
✅ Pros of Braces:
• Suitable for complex cases
• No temptation to remove (they stay on)
• Can be more affordable
• Metal or ceramic (tooth-colored) options
❌ Cons:
• Visibly noticeable
• Harder to clean around
• May cause temporary discomfort or ulcers
😁 What Are Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign)?
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth. They’re popular among teens, professionals, and adults seeking discreet treatment.
✅ Pros of Aligners:
• Virtually invisible
• Removable for eating, brushing, and social events
• More comfortable, no wires or brackets
• Easier to maintain oral hygiene
❌ Cons:
• Requires discipline to wear 20–22 hours/day
• Not suitable for very complex corrections
• Can be more expensive
