Are braces or aligners better at straightening teeth?

Braces have been around for a long time and are the treatment method to which all others are compared. For many orthodontic problems, braces and aligners will give the same outcome. However, there are some bite problems where aligner treatment is better and others where braces are the best way to achieve the desired outcome. Dr Shell will let you know which option is best for you.
