Braces and aligners are both orthodontic treatments used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues, including anterior space closure. Here's a comparison of braces and aligners:

Braces

• Components
• Effectiveness
• Maintenance
• Treatment Duration

 

Aligners (Invisalign)

• Construction
• Removability
• Maintenance
• Treatment Duration

Ultimately, the choice between braces and aligners depends on factors such as the severity of the orthodontic issues, personal preferences regarding appearance and lifestyle, and the recommendation of the orthodontist. Both braces and aligners can effectively achieve anterior space closure and other orthodontic goals when used appropriately.
