Thinking about straightening your teeth but unsure whether to choose braces or aligners?
You’re not alone! At Align & Shine, we help patients in Chennai make informed decisions based on their needs, smile goals, and lifestyle. Let’s break it down.

Braces: The Classic Choice

Pros:

• Effective for complex cases (crowding, bite correction)
• Fixed – no discipline needed to wear them
• Durable and time-tested

Cons:

• Visible metal or ceramic brackets
• Food restrictions (no hard/sticky foods)
• Can cause initial discomfort

Aligners: The Modern Alternative

Pros:

• Nearly invisible — perfect for professionals or teens
• Removable — easier eating & cleaning
• Smooth and comfortable

Cons:

• Must be worn 20–22 hours/day
• Not suitable for severe orthodontic issues
• Cost can be slightly higher than braces
