Living With Each Option in Fleetville

Take an aligner out and there's nothing you can't eat — that alone removes the biggest daily friction fixed braces create. Cleaning is easier too, since a tray comes off before brushing and flossing rather than working around brackets and wires. The trade-off is discipline: trays only work if they go back in promptly and stay in for the hours the plan needs.
