If you’re searching for orthodontic treatment in Palm Beach County, you’re likely trying to decide between braces and Invisalign. At PB Braces, we offer both options across our three locations, and we tailor every treatment to your lifestyle and smile goals.

Let’s compare these two popular options to help you make an informed decision.

Braces: The Classic Choice

Pros:

• Effective for complex orthodontic issues
• Often more affordable than Invisalign
• No risk of losing aligners

Cons:

• More noticeable appearance
• Some food restrictions
• May cause mild discomfort after adjustments

Best For: Kids, teens, and adults who need significant corrections or want the most predictable results.

At PB Braces, traditional braces start at just $99/month – making them one of the most budget-friendly options in Palm Beach County.

Invisalign: The Clear Favorite

Pros:

• Nearly invisible
• Removable for eating and brushing
• No wires or brackets

Cons:

• Requires discipline to wear 20–22 hours per day
• May not be suitable for all complex cases

Best For: Adults and teens looking for a discreet, flexible treatment.

We also offer $1,000 off clear aligners at all PB Braces locations, plus our in-house aligner brand for more affordable, customized treatment.
