Aligners are trending everywhere. People gets confused on what to choose.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

:white_check_mark: Good for complex dental problems
:white_check_mark: Fixed – you won’t lose them
:cross_mark: Visible and can be uncomfortable
:cross_mark: Harder to clean and eat certain foods

:magic_wand: Aligners
:white_check_mark: Invisible and removable
:white_check_mark: More comfortable and easier to clean
:cross_mark: Not suitable for severe cases
:cross_mark: Needs discipline – wear 20+ hours a day!

It depends on your teeth condition, lifestyle, and budget.
Always get a dental consult before deciding!

Good tips for knowing what to use- braces or alingers.
I think alingers are more comfortable.

Thats true. But to get best results you’ll have to wear it regularly as recommended by your dentist. And many dont follow that.
