Invisalign is a great alternative to braces if you would rather skip the brackets and have the retainers. It is less hassle and it makes it look like you don't have anything in! It is beneficial if you have teeth that have a simple fix. If you have complex teeth with gapping and crooked spots, invisalign is harder to get the job done. Because the retainers are plastic, they can't move and impact the teeth as well as the braces can. The metal has more of an impact and allows for the worst of teeth to become revised into a straighter state. Braces are also considerably cheaper then Invisalign.
Invisalign is said to be the new braces, and more people are getting them instead of braces. Because they give the look of not having anything on your teeth, they are more appealing. They share some characteristics with braces though. They are still painful, as they are moving your teeth which is irritating to the gums and teeth, and they have to be worn for a long time. Sometimes ,invisalign can take longer to move teeth than braces do, which extends the time period of wearing them.

Braces continue to prove to do the best job at working the teeth to a straight demeanor. They are able to handle and work on the worst most corrupted jaws and teeth structure. Invisalign is a great alternative, but orthodontists will continue to tell patients to just bite the bullet and go with braces.
