I personally found it disgusting when I was talking to them because the Invisalines would fall out and it'd make them drool alot. They'd have to take them out everytime they ate and they always had to clean the braces and their teeth at school which also grosses me out.
I know they can be almost 4x more expensive they regular braces and most insurance companies don't fully cover the cost of them.
They do take a bit longer to work, also the braces break on occasion or get lost. I have regular braces and I don't find them very annoying at all. To keep the attention off my mouth full of metal I try not to wear shiny lip gloss; instead I play up my eyes to people will concentrate on them more.
