Which option is more appropriate depends primarily on the tooth movements your case needs. Across Corpusty, the deciding factor is complexity far more than personal preference. Understanding where each treatment excels makes the decision much simpler.

Which Cases Suit Clear Aligners?

Light-to-moderate crowding, spacing and mild bite correction fall squarely in aligner territory — provided the patient will commit to the daily wear the system depends on.

They struggle with big extrusions or intrusions, large overbite corrections, substantial root movement, extraction cases needing tight space control, and anyone likely to under-wear the trays.

Cases Where Braces Lead

Fixed braces cover a wider span of complexity. Applying continuous force without relying on compliance, they suit complex movements, extraction and space management, significant bite correction, and younger patients who may struggle with aligner discipline.

Ceramic and lingual options narrow the aesthetic gap considerably; lingual braces are hidden from the front entirely. In Corpusty they're worth asking about when you want discretion but your case may be beyond aligners.

Cost Comparison — Aligners vs Braces in Corpusty

Complexity drives cost far more than the choice of appliance. Aligners and braces land in similar territory for comparable cases; the meaningful difference is in the inclusions each provider bundles.

Funding differs more than the private price: the NHS route means free braces for eligible teenagers, while private treatment for either appliance in Corpusty spans roughly £1,500–£5,500.
