    First of all do you mind people knowing that you are wearing braces? If you don't I suggest you wear the normal braces. Invisalign cost more than the normal braces does but invisalign doesn't take much time to straighten your teeth out. If you prefer to have funky looking braces, get the normal one. you get to pick your own bands every time you go to change the bands. Embrace wearing braces!

    p/s:

    Nobody really cared anymore cause it's a trend now, don't you think so?

    Source(s): I used to wear a normal braces. I got them off after a year. Other than the pain and the food restrictions it was fun! I miss wearing braces!

    Braces would be cheaper, invisalign is very expensive. I don't know very much about New Jersey so I can't help you out on that aspect, I apologize.

    However, Invisalign is probably best, because you can't actually see the braces, and it makes your teeth probably straighter, but its really personal preference.

    Braces are cheaper and it is quick. If you get the invisalign, you have to replace the plastic every 2 week with new set of invisalign and the cost is 4,500 to 6,000 to get the invisalign. The invisalign take longer than brace and it is more pain to it. I was suppose to get invisalign but my orthodontist told me that brace are better than invisalign because it have less sore to your teeth.
