Invisalign vs Fixed Braces: Which Teeth Straightening Option Is Right for You?

If you’re considering teeth straightening, you might be wondering whether Invisalign clear aligners or traditional fixed braces are the best choice. At Siha Dental in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, we specialise in Invisalign treatment led by our expert orthodontist, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to metal braces.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Fixed Braces?

  • Discreet Appearance: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, made from clear thermoplastic. Unlike fixed braces with metal brackets and wires, Invisalign lets you straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces, a big plus for busy West Londoners who want to maintain a professional or social image.
  • Removability and Flexibility: Invisalign trays are removable, so you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making oral hygiene easier and reducing dietary restrictions. Fixed braces can trap food and make cleaning challenging, which increases the risk of cavities and gum disease.
  • Greater Comfort: Without brackets or wires, Invisalign system reduces irritation to your cheeks and gums. Adjusting to aligners is generally quicker and more comfortable than with fixed braces.
  • Fewer Visits Needed: Invisalign requires fewer and less time-consuming visits to your clinic, supporting patients with busy West London lifestyles who prefer convenience.

When Might Fixed Braces Be the Better Option?

Fixed braces are often recommended for more complex orthodontic issues, such as severe bite problems or when precise tooth movement is required. During your consultation at Siha Dental we’ll assess your specific needs and recommend the best treatment approach.

What Your Invisalign Journey Looks Like at Siha Dental

  • Consultation & Health Examination: Before starting your clear aligner treatment, we'll check your oral health to ensure there are no issues like cavities or gum disease that need attention first.
  • 3D Smile Scan: We use advanced digital scans to create a customised treatment plan showing you your predicted smile transformation.
  • Custom-Made Clear Aligners: You’ll receive a series of nearly invisible aligners, swapping every 1-2 weeks. This will gradually align your teeth into the desired position. 
  • Regular Progress Checks: Our specialist orthodontist monitors your treatment in fewer appointments compared to fixed braces adjustments.
  • Retainers for Lasting Results: After treatment, we provide retainers to maintain your newly straightened teeth.
