Frequently asked
01Invisalign or braces — which works faster?
It depends on the case. Mild crowding often goes faster with Invisalign; complex bite issues sometimes need brackets. We compare both timelines for you.
02Are aligners painful?
You'll feel mild pressure for 1–2 days when switching to a new tray. No metal-on-cheek soreness like with brackets.
03How long do I wear them per day?
Invisalign: 20–22 hours, taken out for meals. Braces: full-time until removed.
