Why Use Both Braces and Invisalign?
Braces are excellent for correcting complex bite and alignment issues. However, clear aligners can fine-tune positioning and aesthetics while providing greater comfort and flexibility.
Both solutions have strengths and weaknesses. By combining them, your orthodontist can:
- Tackle multiple concerns efficiently: Use braces to correct the foundation, then finish with aligners for detail work.
- Reduce the amount of time you spend wearing braces: A hybrid plan can shorten the duration of wearing metal brackets.
- Offer lifestyle-friendly choices: Aligners are removable, making them ideal for events, travel, or busy schedules.
Hybrid orthodontic plans are always customized to your needs, ensuring a strategic path to your best smile.
Who Can Benefit from a Combination Approach?
Pairing braces and Invisalign may be ideal if you:
- Have moderate to severe orthodontic issues
- Prefer a less visible option toward the end of your treatment
- Need flexibility for personal or professional reasons
- Want a more comfortable and adaptable experience
That said, this method may not be the best fit for patients who struggle with compliance or prefer a single, streamlined system from start to finish. During your initial consultation, your orthodontist will assess your bite, objectives, and lifestyle to determine if a combination is appropriate for you.
