INVISALIGN VS. BRACES QUIZ
Are you sick of dealing with crooked, spaced out, or otherwise imperfect teeth? If you’ve been looking into options to improve your smile, odds are you’ve come up against the quandary of which is better: Invisalign or braces? Well, the truth is that neither option is better than the other — they’re just different strokes for different folks. The option that is best for you depends on your smile, lifestyle, and other factors. The best way to choose is by consulting your orthodontist, but you can get an idea by taking the quiz below!
If you already have a beautiful smile, consider clipping this quiz out and passing it on to a friend or family member who could use it.
1. HOW LONG ARE YOU WILLING TO WAIT FOR RESULTS? A. Only 6–18 months — I’d like to be done as quickly as possible. B. Up to two years — I’ll wait as long as it takes! 2. ARE YOU WILLING TO MODIFY WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK DURING TREATMENT? A. No, that would be too much of a hassle. B. Yes, that’s not a problem! 3. WOULD YOU BE EMBARRASSED IF YOUR TEETH ATTRACTED ATTENTION? A. Yes, I’d rather no one noticed I was getting treatment. B. Nope, I’d like to use my treatment to express my personality. 4. DO YOU PLAY CONTACT SPORTS? A. Yes, I’m in collisions regularly. B. No, I don’t. 5. WOULD YOU BE ABLE/WILLING TO PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE? A. Yes, I’m confident I’ll be able to remember to maintain my appliance and have the time to do so. B. No, I’d rather not have to think about my treatment daily. It’s time to tally up your points! Count how many times you answered A and how many times you answered B. If you chose mostly A’s, Invisalign might be the treatment option for you. If you picked more B’s, braces could be your best bet! Of course, there are other nuances to consider that we couldn’t fit into this five-question quiz, so it’s still smart to get an opinion from Dr. Marshall.
