Clear Retainers In Mouthwash?

Hello there!
I have clear retainers, kind of invisalign. I’ve been curious about this, can I put my clear retainers in mouthwash (i.e. Listerine, Scope, Etc). I use scope, I read the ingredients that is has this type of acid, but I want your opinion if this thing will eat up my clear retainers over a period of time.
Note – It’s made of a special type of plastic. According to my orthodontist.

Damon System 3 Or Clear Braces?

I’m 15 years old, and I just went to the orthodontist for the first time. I am going to need braces. I wanted Invisalign, but he said they wouldn’t help my condition. So, I wanted to get clear braces, being that I can’t get Invisalign. But, I did a little research when I got home, and came across the Damon Sytem 3. It’s supposed to be less painful, and, most importantly for me, cut the length of treatment time by six months. I’m skeptical about this, though. Does it really lessen treatment time? I’d definitely go with the Damon System 3 if I can get my braces off 6 months sooner, but the clear braces are less noticeable and more attractive. What should I do? Any other information about the Damon System would help, too.
Also… 3 of my second molars haven’t come in yet. Do I have to wait until they come in to get braces?
Thanks.

Invisalign Or Clear Braces?

Alright, my orthodontist says i need braces but says he would recommend that i use invisalign or get clear braces. So, from your experience should i just get the clear braces or invisilign?
It would help if you included things like pain level, costs, time with the product, and overall how you felt with the product.
Thank you so much!

I am hoping to get it done from Pakistan supposing there is even anInvisalign Certified Orthodontist there. Though, I’m presuming that there must be as the investor was in fact Pakistani and cosmetic surgery and dentistry is becoming rather common in Pakistan.
It should most probably be cheaper in Pakistan too, but how much????
Thanks.

I am an active teenager. What are the pros and cons of these two choices. My orthodontist is letting me have the option between the two because both will get the job done in the same amount of time.
Thank You
