Braces vs. Invisalign in 2026: Choosing Your Best Smile

The Modern Orthodontic Landscape

Gone are the days of “metal mouths” being the only option. Today, we offer solutions that fit every lifestyle and budget.

Traditional Metal Braces: The Reliable Workhorse

  • Best For: Complex cases, severe overcrowding, and jaw alignment.
  • The Muskurahat Advantage: Because we are a charitable clinic, we provide high-grade metal braces at subsidized costs, making this life-changing treatment accessible to low-income families.
  • Maintenance: Requires avoiding sticky foods (caramel, gum) and careful flossing with threaders.

Clear Aligners (Invisalign): The “Invisible” Choice

  • Best For: Working professionals and image-conscious teens.
  • Pros: Virtually invisible, removable for eating, and easier to clean.
  • The Discipline Factor: You must wear them 22 hours a day for them to work.

Which is Faster?

While Invisalign can be faster for mild cases (6–12 months), metal braces are often more efficient for complex structural changes (18–24 months).
