Invisalign vs. traditional braces: which orthodontics to choose in Granada (honest 2026 guide)

Every week we get asked: 'Invisalign or braces?'. And our honest answer is always the same: it depends on your case, your commitment and your budget.

We'll save you the manufacturer's catalogue read. Here's what you really need to know before deciding.

When Invisalign wins (clearly)

• You're an adult and work with the public: no one will see the clear aligners.
• Your malocclusion is mild or moderate: most cases today can be resolved just as well with aligners.
• You care about hygiene: you remove the aligners to brush as usual.
• You want to see the result before starting: the 3D simulation shows you.
• You have discipline: they must be worn 22 hours a day.

When braces still win

• Very complex cases with severe rotations or skeletal problems.
• Patients who know they won't be disciplined with aligners (forgetful teenagers, for example).
• When budget is a critical factor and aesthetics are not.

How much does each one cost in Granada?

Traditional metal braces are usually between €2,500 and €3,500 for full treatment. Invisalign in Granada ranges from €3,500 to €5,500 depending on complexity (Lite, Moderate or Comprehensive). But there are important nuances:

• EMERGENCIES with braces (rubbing, loose wires) mean extra visits. With Invisalign there are almost no emergencies.
• Invisalign usually requires FEWER check-up visits: the appointments are more spaced out.
• Total TIME: in comparable cases, Invisalign usually takes the same or less.

What we do at MiD

We are specialists in both techniques. At your free first visit we do a 3D intraoral scan and show you a simulation with Invisalign. If your case fits, we give you a fixed-price quote. If braces are a better option for you, we say so too.

Because the best orthodontics isn't the most modern or the most expensive. It's the one that best solves your case.
