Braces vs Clear Aligners in Lahore: Which Is Right for You?
S
Dr. Saleh Rafaqat
Smile Heaven Dental Clinic, Lahore
Straightening teeth is no longer just about metal braces. Clear aligners give a nearly invisible option — but they aren't always the right fit for every case.
How each works
Braces use brackets and wires to move teeth continuously. Aligners are a series of clear trays, each nudging teeth a small step towards the final position.
Choosing between them
A few things to weigh up:
- Complexity of the case — braces still handle severe cases better.
- Appearance — aligners are almost invisible in daily life.
- Discipline — aligners only work if you wear them 22 hours a day.
- Budget — aligners are usually the higher-cost option.
The consultation
We take scans, photos and X-rays, then show you a simulation of both routes so you can make the call with real information — not marketing.
