Invisalign vs braces in Glasgow: which is right for you?
8 June 2026 · 4 min read
Both straighten teeth, but they get there in very different ways. Here is how Invisalign and traditional braces compare, so you can decide what suits your life.
How they differ
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are very discreet and come out for eating and brushing. Fixed braces use brackets and wires bonded to your teeth, which stay put for the whole treatment.
Which tends to suit who
Invisalign is popular with adults and older teens who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Fixed braces can have the edge for very complex movements. At a consultation we will tell you honestly which is the better fit for your case.
Seeing the result first
One real advantage of Invisalign is that we can show you a 3D simulation of your finished smile before you start. Patients come to our Merchant City practice from across Glasgow to straighten their teeth this way.
