Cost of Damon Braces? Should My Daughter Get Invisalign or Damon Braces?

My daughter (13 years old) needs braces. Her teeth are quite fine with minor adjustments needed (4mm overbite needs to be reduced to 2mm and rounder look of the two front top teeth). For a teenager, which one is a better choice: Damon or Invisalign? How much is the average cost for Damon braces? I was quoted $9000 by one dr. which seems a lot. Also does the cost depends on how much work is needed? Thanks
