What Are The Pros and Cons of Braces Vs Invisalign?

Conventional braces and clear aligners (brands such as Invisalign, Sure-Smile and Clear-Correct) are the 2 main methods of straightening peoples teeth. Both options can give a good result, however both have their own advantages and disadvantages, which may mean 1 option is more suitable than the other for a given person.

One area where this is different is when dealing with very mild crowding or people who have had previous orthodontic treatment and have had some relapse crowding. In these cases their aligner treatment offers clear advantages both in the time he can take to straighten teeth and in the cost. Aligners are often much less expensive in this type of case.
