Technically, Invisalign aren’t “invisible braces” but invisible aligners. Invisalign aligners are different from traditional braces in that they can be taken out to eat, though they do still need to be worn 20-22 hours a day. Invisalign aligners also mean that it’s much easier to brush and floss your teeth compared to wearing a traditional brace. Invisalign are most commonly known as “adult braces” due to their increased popularity amongst adults who might be more self-conscious about having to wear braces in the workplace.
