invisalign - orthodontist vs regular dentist, does it matter?

hey! honestly, i think going to an orthodontist is worth it, especially for invisalign. they usually have more experience specifically with aligners, which can make a difference in results. i went to this ortho in al barsha, and they were super helpful with my mild crowding too - i think they charged around 18k though. as for braces vs invisalign, totally get why you want to avoid metal - invisalign is way more discreet, and tbh i prefer not having to deal with the discomfort of metal brackets. treatment time usually ranges from 6 months to a year for mild cases, but it really depends on how often you wear the aligners. about smile direct club, i’ve heard mixed reviews. some people say it's good for really easy cases, but if ur case isn't super simple, a local ortho might be a safer bet. good luck! 😁
