When it comes to orthodontic treatment, Invisalign and traditional Braces are two popular options that can help you achieve a straighter, more confident smile. At Riviera Smiles in Santa Barbara, we offer both treatments, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your needs and lifestyle. Let’s take a look at both approaches so that you can make an informed decision if you’re thinking about straightening your teeth and improving your smile.

Invisalign has revolutionized orthodontic treatment with its discreet, clear aligners. Here’s why it’s a top choice for many:

Aesthetics: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an ideal choice for those who want a more discreet treatment option.

Comfort: The smooth, plastic aligners are more comfortable than Traditional Braces, with no wires or brackets to irritate your mouth.

Removability: Invisalign aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing you to maintain good oral hygiene.

Traditional braces have been used for decades and offer their unique advantages:

Effectiveness: Braces are highly effective in correcting even the most complex orthodontic issues.

Customization: Braces can be customized with colored bands, giving patients a chance to showcase their personality.

No risk of forgetting: With braces, there’s no risk of forgetting to wear them since they’re permanently affixed to your teeth.

The choice between Invisalign and braces ultimately depends on your specific orthodontic needs and personal preferences. Dr. Ana Martinez and her team at Riviera Smiles will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your goals to help you make an informed decision.
