[quote=Anonymous]The rubber bands/elastics aren’t any harder with Invisalign vs braces really. I have a 12yo with braces and a 10yo with Invisalign. Both have worked great so far and each have their pros and cons. 10yo hasn’t lost a tray yet - been about 8 months and it’s very easy. They switch trays every 5 days. Not the most fun having to take them in and out. Older child has also done great with metal braces. He’s had wires break a few times (over the last 3 years) and that’s been painful. I sometimes worry about staining but I’m probably projecting as that happened to me many moons ago. For some reason the duration of Invisalign was less than traditional braces for our youngest - significantly less. I guess they work faster? One of mine will need rubber bands soon and I suspect that will be tough. I hope I’ll be pleasantly surprised. [/quote]
