What Changes Day to Day in Frenze
With aligners, meals are unrestricted since the tray comes out first, and near-invisibility is the main social upside — the catch is remembering to put trays back in and tracking wear hours, which some patients in Frenze find is a bigger ask than expected.
Fixed braces mean a shorter list of foods to avoid and slightly more deliberate brushing around brackets, but nothing that depends on you remembering anything — the appliance is doing its job continuously whether you think about it or not.

Cases Where Aligners Shine
Aligners suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing, mild overbite and overjet correction, some crossbites, and motivated patients who'll wear trays 20–22 hours a day. Discreet, disciplined adults and older teens are the classic match.
Where a case needs heavy vertical movement, major bite change, careful extraction management, or where compliance is doubtful, aligners are the weaker choice.
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.
Modern ceramic and lingual braces offer discretion close to aligners while keeping the control of a fixed appliance. Lingual braces, bonded behind the teeth, are virtually invisible — worth exploring with Frenze providers if discretion matters but aligner suitability is uncertain.
