what's the difference between braces and invisalign?

So what's the real difference when it comes to regular, metal braces and invisalign? Here's the scoop:

Invisalign braces

- less noticeable
- must be taken out before each meal
- user MUST floss teeth after every meal, before replacing the braces
- every 2 weeks the user gets a new pair of invisalign braces


Regular braces

- metal with colored rubber bands
- remain on the teeth while eating 
- difficult to floss with because the wires make it hard to maneuver the dental floss string
- each month, the user goes to the orthodontist to receive a new set of bands and to tighten the braces

All in all, it seems that Invisalign is the more convenient and less noticeable option or the two. Either way, flossing can be a big HASSLE whether you wear Invisalign or regular Braces.
