[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one in regular braces and one in Invisalign. Same cost. What isn’t the same is my regular dentist recommended the child with Invisalign get his teeth cleaned every quarter vs every six months. Kids get more tooth decay with Invisalign. One had to wear Invisalign because of the slant of his teeth. To me Invisalign vs. regular braces is six of one or a half dozen of another.[/quote]

Invisalign was recommended for my daughter. She was terrible about brushing well so we liked that she could brush and floss normally with Invisalign. We never needed extra cleanings. The other advantage was that we didn’t have to worry about her being compliant with food restrictions. During the few months she was in phase 1 braces she broke the wires. My son now has Invisalign too. He’s been told to rinse his mouth with water before putting the liners back in if he can’t brush. No cavities.

Invisalign also requires less appointments and there’s less discomfort.

I can see doing traditional braces if a problem can only be fixed with wires and brackets. I can also see that it’s not a good option for kids who won’t be compliant with wearing the liners since they could pop them out and keep them out for longer than the recommended time.  But  Invisalign’s benefits are clear to me. [/quote]
