I want to straighten my teeth. Is Invisalign faster than braces?

Traditional braces can seem longer but it’s usually because they are required for more severe malocclusion; Invisalign is still limited when it comes to more difficult corrections like a cross bite. The duration will be dependent on the amount of movement and type of movement (tipping/rotation/bodily movement) required.
Invisalign is not necessarily faster than braces. However, it is more hygienic since it's removable and gives the patient the chance to well clean the teeth. It is also more cosmetic.
HI yes, generally Invisalign is faster, but in some cases, Invisalign might not be possible and traditional braces are needed.
Is Invialign faster than braces? In almost all cases the answer is "Yes", however it would depend on the severity of the malocclusion.
Consult your orthodontist He would be the best person to ask. There are too many factors involved.
I don't know. You have to ask an orthodontist or someone who does Invisalign. Be aware that moving teeth through bone quickly can cause the roots of your teeth to reabsorb and become much shorter, which can loosen your teeth as you are lessening their support within the bone. So you probably really don't want to rush things too much.
