How does Invisalign Express compare with Invisalign?

Invisalign Express is an excellent option to correct minor orthodontic issues. For example, if you are experiencing a minor relapse following earlier treatment, this may be the best course of action for you. Because this type of treatment can correct minor issues, the time frame is less compared to those who have bigger orthodontic problems. Patients are scheduled to wear clear aligners for a period of between ten and twenty weeks.

On the other hand, Invisalign can treat the majority of orthodontic disorders in the same manner as traditional braces can. It will have a longer time frame as patients will have to wear 25 or more aligner sets that need to be replaced every two weeks.
