Many adults in Chico are choosing to improve their smiles, but a common question is:
“Should I get adult braces or Invisalign?”
The answer depends on your lifestyle, goals, and the type of correction needed. At Carr Orthodontics, we help adults choose the option that fits their needs best.
Invisalign for Adults in Chico
Invisalign is popular for adults because the aligners are:
- Clear and nearly invisible
- Removeable for eating and brushing
- Comfortable
- Convenient for busy professionals
Invisalign works extremely well for:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Spacing
- Minor bite issues
- Adults wanting a discreet option
Adult Braces in Chico
Today’s braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever. Adults often choose:
- Clear ceramic braces (more discreet)
- Metal braces (effective for complex cases)
Braces are a great choice for:
- Severe crowding
- Strong bite corrections
- Rotated teeth
- Cases requiring maximum control
Braces can sometimes move teeth more efficiently in complex adult cases.
Which Treatment Works Faster?
The timeline varies, but often:
- Invisalign and braces take a similar amount of time
- Some adult Invisalign cases finish faster because of custom digital planning
- Complex bite corrections may be quicker with braces
Cost Comparison
Both braces and Invisalign have similar price ranges in Chico, generally $3,800–$6,400, depending on complexity. Carr Orthodontics offers:
