Can invisalign reduce the time you have to wear braces for?

Q. my teeth are very crowded (bottom sets) and i have a class 2 overbite my dentist said it\’s a severe case and i could be wearing braces for YEARS! can invisalign half the time i have to wear braces for?,

A. No, infact Invisalign is slower at moving teeth than conventional fixed braces. I would not expect Invisalign to straighten the teeth in half the time!
