Both Invisalign and braces are orthodontic devices that will straighten your teeth and repair other dental issues. However, these two devices are not the same. Braces are a traditional orthodontic treatment. Braces consist of metal brackets adhered to the teeth and intertwined together. Invisalign are removable clear aligners. Compared to braces, Invisalign is easier to maintain and more comfortable. Invisalign is also virtually undetectable, which is why most people prefer them over braces.
