Choosing aligners vs braces is a biomechanics decision, not a fashion decision. Clear aligners can be excellent for many mild to moderate cases, especially when the patient can wear them consistently. Braces often provide more predictable control for complex movements and bite correction. At MilimDental, Dr. Begüm Ulaşan (orthodontist / orthodontic specialist) selects the method that delivers the most stable finish for your bite.
Aligners are often preferred when hygiene and aesthetics are priorities and the case suits staged movement. They can work well for moderate crowding, spacing, and certain bite problems—especially with attachments and elastics. Braces may be recommended for severe rotations, significant deep bite mechanics, challenging crossbite correction, or cases requiring strong root control. Braces can also be safer when compliance is uncertain, because they don’t rely on daily wear discipline.
Dr. Begüm Ulaşan explains the “why” in simple terms: what needs to move, how the bite will change, what risks exist, and how finishing and retention will protect the result. The best choice is the one that is most predictable for your diagnosis and lifestyle.
