Thanks to today’s advances in orthodontic technology, when it comes to wearing braces Moorestown Orthodontics can provide our patients with more options than ever before. While traditional metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are very popular with teens and adults who are self conscious about wearing braces, along with Invisalign removable aligners, the “braceless” alternative to straight teeth. Dr. Robert Kazmierski will help you determine which treatment option is right for you.

What Are the Benefits of Braces?
Orthodontic treatment offers more than just a straighter smile. Properly aligned teeth and a balanced bite can improve both your oral health and your confidence.
Benefits of braces and orthodontic treatment include:
- Straighter, more attractive teeth
- Improved bite alignment and function
- Easier brushing and flossing
- Reduced risk of tooth decay and gum disease
- Less wear on teeth caused by improper alignment
- Improved speech and chewing ability in some cases
- Increased confidence in your smile
Whether you choose traditional braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, or Invisalign aligners, the goal is the same: a healthier smile that can last a lifetime.
Braces vs. Invisalign: Which Is Right for You?
Both braces and Invisalign are effective orthodontic treatment options. The best choice depends on your orthodontic needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
Traditional Braces
Braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. They are highly effective for treating simple to complex orthodontic issues and do not rely on patient compliance since they remain fixed in place throughout treatment.
Advantages of Braces:
- Effective for mild, moderate, and complex cases
- No need to remember to wear them
- Available in metal, ceramic, and lingual options
- Often a great choice for children and teens
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to straighten teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
Advantages of Invisalign:
- Nearly invisible appearance
- Removable for meals and oral hygiene
- No food restrictions
- Smooth and comfortable design
- Ideal for many teens and adults

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right orthodontic treatment is an important decision. Here are answers to some of the most common questions patients ask about braces, clear aligners, and orthodontic care.
Which type of braces works the fastest?
Treatment time depends more on the complexity of your orthodontic needs than the type of appliance used. In some cases, braces may be the most efficient option, while Invisalign can be equally effective for others. Dr. Kazmierski will recommend the treatment that can achieve the best results for your specific situation.
Are braces or Invisalign better for adults?
Both options can be excellent choices for adults. Many adults prefer Invisalign because the aligners are virtually invisible and removable, while others choose ceramic or lingual braces for their effectiveness and discretion. The best option depends on your orthodontic needs, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
How often will I need orthodontic appointments?
Most patients visit our office approximately every 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the type of treatment and stage of care. During these visits, we monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Can Invisalign treat the same problems as braces?
Invisalign can successfully treat many orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and certain bite problems. However, some complex cases may be better suited for traditional braces. A consultation with Dr. Kazmierski will determine which option is most appropriate.
How much do braces cost in Moorestown, NJ?
The cost of braces varies based on the complexity of treatment and the type of appliance selected. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized treatment plan, review costs, discuss insurance benefits, and explain available financing options.
