It depends on the case Invisalign is excellent for non complex movements
It depends on the difficulty of the case, and some cases may not be amenable to Invisalign. There are a lot of variables. My wife is an orthodontist and these are her words. If you are going to be VERY compliant (ie wearing the trays at all times except when eating and brushing, for 22 hours per day), then it's possible for Invisalign to be as fast as conventional braces. Otherwise, if compliance might be an issue with the trays, then conventional braces are the way to go. Her practice charges the same amount for either pathway.

Invisilign is often slower than traditional brackets and wires, and sometimes more expensive. But each person is unique and it varies from case to case.
