We’re here to help you get any and all the information you’re looking for to see if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you or your child. Upon deciding between both Invisalign and braces, you want to know that there are significant differences between both treatment plans; both having their own benefits and downfalls.

Invisalign VS. Braces:

Invisalign treatment is very innovative in comparison to traditional braces, due to their comfort fit and convenience. Although Invisalign is found to treat most cases, there are some patients who are found too far-gone for treatment with Invisalign that only other treatments such as braces can give a quicker and more affordable fix. One upside that many patients find as a benefit for Invisalign over the traditional braces is that the aligners are removable, giving you the flexibility in both your dietary needs and an easy cleaning. Where some find this a convenience, others may find as a downfall. In the end, it all comes down to what you’re looking for, and Dr. Harman can help you see if this is the right treatment option for you.

Since it’s relatively new to the field of orthodontics, it’s important to choose an orthodontist like Dr. Harman who has quite a few years of experience using this method to straighten patients’ teeth. This high-tech system revolves around creating precise scans of your bite using our 3D computer imaging system. We will design personal Invisalign aligners at the H2O Orthodontics office via computer, and gradually shift each tooth individually until they are perfectly aligned.

Due to our experience with Invisalign near Westwood Hills, KS, we find that treatment with it is typically as effective as regular braces in the most frequent orthodontic issues we treat at H2O Orthodontics.
