Generally, invisible or see-through braces are more expensive than their counterpart of metal bracket braces, this is in part due to the materials and technology used to create the invisible or see-through braces. The benefits that these braces provide to each patient are worth the investment, as invisible or see-through braces are considered a more attractive option for many older patients who do not want to alter their appearance with wire metal braces, but they still want to straighten their teeth while doing with almost unnoticeable forces.
