Question: I heard Invisalign is better but you have to wear a retainer at night for the rest of your life to keep your teeth straight. I dont want that, but I heard braces hurt so much worse and you wear them so much longer. Please give me advice on this..

My daughter has braces now, has had them for over a year, and hasn't complained about pain at all. She doesn't like the braces because they are there, but there isn't any pain according to her.

I am checking out invisalign mostly because of my job and how I travel so much, I don't have time to visit an orthodontist. invisalign sends you the next 'retainer' in the mail.

Cost wise, they are about the same.

Good luck!

braces are so much different now then they use to be... you can get almost invisible braces, look into them more... invisiline is awesome, but like you said it's ongoing, but it is not forever

After your teeth have been straightned...no matter what method...you will have to wear a retainer an hour a day forever. Invisalign is quite expensive compared to traditional, 2-3x's more. Evaluate your options. If you are a career professional consider invisalign, if your a kid go traditional and save your parents some money.

I've had braces for 3 years. They can be painful but the pain isn't unbearable and Tylenol gets rid of it quickly. Think about it like this, thousands of people before you have gotten braces way before invisalign was invented. Since we survived, you will too!

I was told the prices are similar for invisalign and regular braces. Invisalign will take less treatment time and you will need to wear a retainer for the rest of your life for both.

I have invisalign now and it is working great! No one can see that I am wearing them,

They hurt when you put a new tray in for about a day, but otherwise they are great and I hardly notice them.

Good luck!
