Think of these techniques as two sides of the same coin. You’re arriving at the same result, you’re just using two totally different methods to get there. Braces work using steel wires and rubber bands to get your smile into position. Over time, these will begin to move your teeth and jaw. Invisalign, on the other hand, uses a series of clear plastic aligners that are almost like a second skin for your teeth. They can be very comfortable compared to braces and you’ll swap them out every two weeks to get your teeth into position. Each set is a little bit different than the one before and each moves the teeth a little bit more to perfection than the last. This is also why many people consider them to be more comfortable than regular braces since you won’t have to deal with wires or brackets.
