Q: I heard there’s a new alternative to having braces called “invisalign.” What is the difference between the two?

A: Yes, that’s right. There’s an alternative for braces. It is called invisalign. It’s a painless treatment. It doesn’t require using any wires and it’s comfortable to wear. The difference between invisalign and the traditional wired braces is that invisalign less conspicuous when it is worn compared to a regular braces. You can wear it on and off everyday. It is more comfortable and you can take it off every time you eat. It is just as effective as braces in terms of restoring crooked teeth. Consult your dentist about invisalign if you want to straighten your teeth.
