Question: What's the difference between metal braces and clear aligners?
Answer: Metal braces are stuck to your teeth and you can't remove them until treatment is over. Metal braces require minimal work from the patient. Clear aligners are plastic trays that you can take off when you eat or brush, but they might not work for everyone or for very crooked teeth. Clear aligners are more work for the patient.
