Invisalign or braces

Pearl notes clear aligners work best for mild to moderate crowding and spacing, and are less effective than braces for complex cases. They must be worn 20 to 22 hours a day, and compliance is the biggest factor in how long treatment takes.

Insurance with ortho coverage usually pays the same lifetime maximum for aligners as for braces, so any price difference comes out of your pocket.

Direct to consumer aligners are cheaper but have limited in person oversight. See our braces cost page.
