Lifestyle Differences Between Aligners and Braces

Clear aligners are removed for eating and drinking, so there are no dietary restrictions — a significant advantage over fixed braces, which require avoiding hard, sticky, and chewy foods throughout treatment. Oral hygiene is easier with aligners since teeth can be brushed and flossed normally after removing the tray. With fixed braces, interdental cleaning requires more care around brackets and wires.
