Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces in Bangalore – Cost & Comfort Comparison

Choosing between Invisalign aligners and traditional braces is one of the biggest decisions for anyone considering orthodontic treatment. While both options help straighten teeth and improve smiles, patients in Bangalore often ask: “Which is better — Invisalign or braces?” and more importantly, “How much will it cost me?”

At Dental Sanctuary, Indiranagar, we specialize in both braces and Invisalign. This detailed guide will compare costs, comfort, lifestyle, and treatment results so you can make the right choice for your smile.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic solution that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into place.

Key benefits:

• Nearly invisible — perfect for working professionals and teens.

• Removable — eat your favorite foods without restrictions.

• Comfortable — no wires or brackets to cause irritation.

• Digital precision — 3D scans show your smile transformation in advance.

What Are Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces involve metal or ceramic brackets fixed to the teeth and connected by wires.

They remain one of the most effective ways to treat even complex orthodontic problems.

Key benefits:

• Suitable for simple to highly complex cases.

• More affordable than Invisalign.

• Various options: metal braces, ceramic (tooth-colored) braces, self-ligating braces.
