✔ Removable for eating & brushing
✔ No food restrictions
✔ Comfortable with no metal irritation
Cons:
✘ Not suitable for very complex cases
✘ Requires discipline – must wear 20–22 hours/day
✘ More expensive than braces in most cases

Comfort, Cost, and Complexity
When considering orthodontic options, comfort is a key factor. Clear aligners are generally more comfortable as they are smooth and removable, reducing irritation. In contrast, traditional braces can cause discomfort due to metal brackets and wires.
Cost is another important consideration. Traditional braces are often more cost-effective upfront, but clear aligners can be a worthwhile investment for those prioritizing aesthetics and convenience.
In terms of complexity, traditional braces are suitable for a wide range of dental issues, including severe misalignments. Clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate cases, offering a simpler treatment process with fewer dental visits.
