Everything You Need to Know Before Starting Aligners
This platform is designed to give you a complete understanding of aligner treatment including how it works, costs, timelines, and suitability so you can make the right decision with confidence.
Aligners vs Braces – Which Is Right for You?
Both aligners and braces are effective ways to straighten teeth — but they work differently and suit different lifestyles. Understanding the key differences will help you choose the right treatment for your needs.
| Feature | Clear Aligners | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Nearly invisible | Visible metal brackets |
| Comfort | Smooth plastic, less irritation | Can cause discomfort and sores |
| Removability | Removable for eating & cleaning | Fixed to teeth throughout treatment |
| Oral Hygiene | Easy to maintain | More difficult to clean |
| Food Restrictions | None (remove before eating) | Avoid hard & sticky foods |
| Clinic Visits | Fewer visits required | Regular tightening visits needed |
| Lifestyle | Flexible and convenient | More restrictive |
| Treatment Planning | Digitally planned in advance | Adjusted manually over time |
Aligners are planned before treatment begins, while braces are adjusted during treatment.
This means aligners offer a more predictable and controlled approach for suitable cases.
Who Should Choose Aligners?
- Individuals who want a discreet treatment
- Adults and young professionals
- Patients who prefer flexibility and convenience
- Mild to moderate alignment issues
Who May Need Braces?
- More complex or severe cases
- Cases requiring precise bite correction
- Patients who may not consistently wear aligners
The best option depends on your specific condition — a proper assessment is required to determine which treatment will give you the best result.

- Minor spacing between teeth
LKR 150,000 – 220,000
