Invisalign® vs Braces:

What’s Right for You?

Embarking on the journey to a straighter smile involves choices. At McKinney Orthodontics, we understand the significance of informed decisions. Traditional braces and Invisalign® aligners each offer distinctive advantages and considerations. Let’s explore these options together, guiding you toward the choice that aligns with your preferences and needs.

Invisalign®Aligners

Braces

Traditional Braces

  • DISCREET

    Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible solution. This quality makes them a favorite among adults and self-conscious teens.

  • DURATION

    Often, treatment times can be shorter with Invisalign®, depending on the complexity of the case.

  • FLEXIBILITY

    Removable during meals and while brushing, ensuring comfort and easy maintenance.

  • COMFORT

    Aligners provide a smoother experience because they lack wires or brackets. This absence reduces the chances of mouth irritation.

  • DURABILITY

    Crafted from high-quality metals, ceramic, or gold, our braces are robust and resilient to daily wear and tear.

  • VERSATILITY

    Braces excel in addressing complex dental cases. They are especially effective for significant misalignment or spacing issues.

  • UPKEEP

    Regular check-ups are essential to adjust and ensure the treatment progresses effectively.

  • AESTHETIC

    Braces are more noticeable than Invisalign®. However, they come in a variety of colors and styles, making them especially popular among kids and teens.

My son's first visit was at the Hampton Cove office, follow ups have been at the Winfield and Tuscaloosa offices. All 3 are amazing. Staff is great at all 3. Dr McKinney has evaluated my son every 6 months for 2 years getting ready for his braces/invisalign. He should get started in January with treatment and is looking forward to it. I love having the option of using multiple locations. It works out great for our schedule! Dr McKinney is great!

It made it so much easier doing it all in one day vs having to schedule another appointment and travel back to Tuscaloosa. Dr. McKinney and his staff are always friendly and accommodating.

We were so happy with Dr McKinney and his staff! We started my daughter's braces at another orthodontist but weren't happy with their treatment, so we transferred over to McKinney and it made all the difference in the world! I even decided to get Invisalign for myself and feel great about my own smile now. His bedside manner and his expertise are worthy, and his staff was always kind and efficient.

Dr McKinney and his staff have been absolutely amazing. My daughter Lilly was so nervous about getting her braces out on last year but they have really eased her nervousness by talking her through each process and what to expect so she wouldn’t be worried. She had to have the expander in the beginning and when she looks at her before pictures to how straight her teeth are now she can’t believe how straight her teeth are and how easy the whole process has been. She is so excited and can’t wait to see what her teeth will look like when the braces come off.
