Patients with mild to severe malocclusions treated with conventional braces or Invisalign between the ages of 12 and 18 met the inclusion criteria. Assessments were done on results, length of treatment, degree of malocclusion, and long-term stability. With significance set at\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05, statistical analyses comprised t-tests for treatment duration and Chi-square testing for malocclusion correction.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings:<\/jats:title>\n \n The mean treatment time for Invisalign was much shorter (18 months) than for conventional braces (24 months) (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001). With 88\u201390% success rates, both techniques demonstrated remarkable success rates in malocclusion treatment. Even though Invisalign was associated with a somewhat greater percentage of relapse instances, the difference was not statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n In conclusion, Invisalign showed a much shorter treatment period than conventional braces, yet both showed excellent malocclusion correction. The choice of modality should be based on patient satisfaction, treatment objectives, and case complexity, taking into account the trade-offs between treatment length and potential variations in long-term stability.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_268_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,2]],"date-time":"2024-08-02T02:36:09Z","timestamp":1722566169000},"page":"S2385-S2387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Comparative Analysis of Braces and Aligners: Long-Term Orthodontic Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Sayyad","family":"Aref","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Consultant Orthodontist and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Nanded, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Preetham","family":"Ravuri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ajay K.","family":"Kubavat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cherukupalli","family":"Sowmya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Panineeya Dental College and Hospital, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leela Venkata Soujanya","family":"Nallamilli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nilesh","family":"Bhanawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, Government Medical College, Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahul","family":"Tiwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"296","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9416(72)90268-0","article-title":"The six keys to normal occlusion","volume":"62","author":"Andrews","year":"1972","journal-title":"Am J Orthod"},{"key":"R2-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajodo.2007.05.018","article-title":"How well does Invisalign work?
