Clear aligners are removable trays changed every week or two. Fixed braces are bonded to the teeth for the length of treatment. Each has strengths, and an orthodontist can tell you which is realistic for your case.
How complex is the movement?
Some tooth movements are more predictable with fixed braces. Ask the orthodontist to explain why they recommend one option over the other for you specifically.
Will you wear them enough?
Aligners only work while they are in your mouth, typically for most of the day. Be honest about whether that fits your routine.
What happens after treatment?
Retainers keep teeth in their new positions. Ask what type of retainer is included and how long you will need to wear it.
