Braces are typically more affordable than Invisalign, and they can be used to treat a wide range of dental problems. However, braces can be uncomfortable and they require regular adjustments. Kids with traditional braces are also stuck with metal in their mouths for years on end. Invisalign, on the other hand, is much more comfortable to wear and does not require any adjustments. Invisalign is also less visible than metal braces, making it a good choice for adults who are concerned about their appearance.  Ultimately, the decision between braces and Invisalign comes down to personal preference. As you can tell from my own personal experience, I have chosen to go with both options for my own kids for different reasons.
