Braces vs. Invisalign: Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Both options straighten teeth well, but braces typically handle complex bite corrections best, while Invisalign in Northbrook is a favorite for teens and adults who want a discreet, removable option. Here’s a quick comparison to help you think it through.
| Feature | Traditional Braces | Invisalign Aligners |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Metal or clear ceramic brackets | Nearly invisible, clear plastic |
| Removable | No, fixed to teeth | Yes, remove to eat and brush |
| Best for | Complex bite corrections | Mild to moderate alignment cases |
| Typical timeframe | 12-24 months | 12-18 months for many patients |
| Ideal age range | All ages | Teens and adults (Invisalign First for kids) |
| Maintenance | Avoid sticky/hard foods | Eat whatever you like |
Traditional braces, including the Damon Braces system, are a strong choice for patients with more involved bite issues. Modern brackets are smaller and more comfortable than ever.
Invisalign aligners are ideal if you want a discreet, removable option. See why teens and adults choose Invisalign as a discreet alternative to braces.
Invisalign First is designed specifically for children whose smiles are still developing, giving parents a modern option for early treatment.
During your free consultation, our orthodontists will review your 3D scan and recommend the option that best fits your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist? The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This early visit at our Northbrook practice lets our team spot developing bite or spacing concerns and decide whether early treatment with Invisalign products or a palatal expander might be helpful.
How long does orthodontic treatment take? Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 24 months, though timing varies based on your specific smile goals and the treatment you choose. Our board-certified orthodontists will give you a personalized estimate at your free consultation.
Does Invisalign work as well as braces? For most mild to moderate cases, yes. Invisalign aligners are a discreet alternative that delivers strong results when worn as prescribed (typically 20-22 hours per day). More involved cases may still benefit from traditional braces.
Do you accept my insurance? We accept most major dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits. Our team in Northbrook will verify your coverage and explain your options during your free consultation.
What happens at the free consultation? You’ll meet our team, tour our Northbrook practice, and receive a 3D scan with iTero® scanner. Our orthodontists will review your smile, recommend treatment options, and your coordinator will walk through pricing and financing, all with no obligation.
