Both move teeth. Aligners are removable and discreet but depend on you wearing them; braces are fixed and work continuously, and handle some movements more reliably.
Braces work whether you remember or not. Aligners do not.
Eating and cleaning
Aligners come out; braces need technique and time.
Case complexity
Some rotations and bite corrections are more predictable with fixed appliances.
Comfort
Different rather than better: aligners have edges, braces have brackets.
Retention
Both require retainers afterwards.
How to decide
If your case is straightforward and you will wear the trays, aligners are usually the more comfortable route. If the movements needed are complex, or you know compliance will be difficult, fixed appliances are more reliable.
Some cases are better handled by an orthodontist. Recommending that is not a limitation of this office; it is part of getting a predictable result.
