When it comes to straightening teeth and improving your bite, two of the most popular treatment options are Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces. At Beam Orthodontics in Sugar Land, TX, we offer both options—each with unique benefits—so you can choose the treatment that fits your lifestyle, goals, and smile needs.
But how do you know which one is right for you or your child? Let’s break it down.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place. These aligners are nearly invisible and made from smooth, comfortable plastic—no brackets or wires required.
At Beam Orthodontics, we’re proud to be a top provider of Invisalign and Invisalign First in Sugar Land and surrounding areas. Invisalign is especially popular with teens and adults who want a more discreet option.
Benefits of Invisalign:
- Virtually invisible
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Fewer office visits
- No food restrictions
- Often shorter treatment time with great compliance
What Are Braces?
Traditional braces use metal or ceramic brackets bonded to your teeth and connected by wires. They’re extremely effective for correcting complex bite issues and ensuring precise tooth movement.
At Beam Orthodontics, we use advanced digital technology to customize your treatment plan and make the process smoother than ever.
Benefits of Braces:
- Ideal for complex cases and younger patients
- No need to remember to wear them
- Can be customized with colored elastics (kids love this!)
- Durable and effective
Which One Is Right for You?
Choose Invisalign if:
- You want a discreet, flexible treatment
- You’re a responsible teen or adult who will wear aligners 20–22 hours a day
- You prefer to avoid dietary restrictions
Choose Braces if:
- You or your child have more complex orthodontic needs
- You prefer a non-removable option
- You want to show off your smile with fun colors
Still not sure? No worries—Dr. Rodriguez will walk you through all your options during your complimentary consultation and help you decide what works best for your lifestyle and goals.
