Which Cases Suit Clear Aligners?
They work best for mild-to-moderate alignment and bite issues in patients reliable about wear. Adults who value near-invisibility and stick to routines are the ideal aligner candidate.
Their limits show up in complex vertical movements, extraction space control and low-compliance patients — situations that reward continuous, non-removable force.
When Braces Are the Stronger Option
Because they work around the clock regardless of the patient, braces are the dependable choice for complex mechanics, extraction control and cases where discipline can't be assumed.
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 Torry providers if discretion matters but aligner suitability is uncertain.
