It’s common for people to think that metal braces are the only type available thanks to how media has portrayed braces and due to the fact that most other types are not visible.

Think about it, have you seen anyone wearing metal braces these days?

Probably not as most people wear invisible braces. The most popular type on the market is Invisalign, which are just as effective as metal braces, yet comfortable.

Invisalign cost price vary, but the invisalign cost is generally higher than a standard set of traditional braces.

Before we dwell into the specifics of Invisalign, let’s look into why people need braces in the first place.

Every set of teeth is different and each has the possibility of growing in misaligned, which can cause various problems such as overbite.

If a tooth grows in an odd spot, it may push around other teeth and cause an even more crookedness. Teeth grinding, losing your baby teeth early, and oral problems may also cause misalignment.

If left untreated, misaligned teeth can cause an increased risk of cavities, low self-esteem, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, and trouble chewing.
