Speed of Results

[{"selector":"#anim-4ff7e283-a7db-46ab-b857-3669d4a68925","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2ca57520-1748-43b4-bcdb-952f570c6582","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Braces might work faster for complex cases. However, Invisalign offers quicker results for mild to moderate issues.
