They are not removed by the patient and only the dentist has the domain to do it. They are placed for over years until the final treatment and desirable results are achieved. Since that treatment is complex and lengthy one should choose a good <a href=\"https:\/\/dynamic.enfieldguru.com\/orthodontists\/\">Orthodontist<\/a> for its placement and follow up. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Aligners\"><\/span><b>What Are Aligners?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aligners are invisible braces that are made up of plastic-like material called acrylic. In simpler words they are like mouth guards and can be easily removed and inserted back in the mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixed_braces_Vs_Aligners\"><\/span><b>Fixed braces Vs Aligners: <\/b><br \/>\n<b><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fabrication\"><\/span><b>Fabrication:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fix braces are made of a collection of metallic brackets with a wire and rubber rings used to tuck it in. Whereas aligners are made up of acrylic which is transparent in colour. <\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_Duration\"><\/span><b>Time Duration:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed braces are placed for years up till the treatment completes that nearly takes about <strong>3 to 4 years<\/strong> depending on patient to patient. Aligners can only be given one year to 6 month of time period for their placement and working. <\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Functional_Activity\"><\/span><b>Functional Activity:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When functional activity is taken into consideration, fixed braces are better because their mechanism of action is very powerful. The brackets and wires in combination exert very strong forces on the roots of the teeth causing them to move and realign them properly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases of aligners they are not very strengthy and are not bound to cause root movements. there functional activity is lesser to that of fixed braces comparatively.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Resistance_To_Stress\"><\/span><b>The Resistance To Stress:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you bite or eat something hard it is very likely that the metallic braces and wires tend to disrupt and distort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However clear aligners are very endeavoring. They do not break or distort very easily. Acrylic is a very strong material. The Dynamic Clinic provides best Clear Aligners that are highly fracture resistant and do not deform easily. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_and_Chewing\"><\/span><b>Food and Chewing:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where clear Aligners are fracture resistant and do not have a tendency to easily damage they have other major drawbacks. They cannot be worn while eating or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chewing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, fixed braces can be comfortable and do not need to be removed while eating or chewing. <\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multiple_Visits\"><\/span><b>Multiple Visits:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed braces require frequent follow ups and timed appointments in order to be tightened or loosened according to the condition and treatment progress. This can be a huge hustle for the candidate. Clear aligners do not require any single visit either for follow up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum up both of them have equal benefits but it depends upon the dentist as well as the candidate which one they would choose based on the condition. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_The_Cost_Of_Dental_Braces\"><\/span><b>What Is The Cost Of Dental Braces? <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental braces cost is based upon the type of treatment either fixed or removable.
