Damon Braces Vs Invisalign for Crowded Teeth?
I need professional help selecting which between Damon brackets w/ Suresmile wires or Invisalign. The dentist told me that it might be 12 months with Braces or 18 months with Invisalign. I don't know which to choose. I don't care. Both was quoted as same price. Here are the problems that was noted: upper and lower arches too narrow, mild crowding of upper teeth, moderate crowding of lower teeth, lower midline off to the right. Also open for more price quotes. STL

You Could Treat with Both, but the Damon Result will Look Better
It is tough to see the pictures of your teeth since they are pretty tiny and don't get bigger when I clicked them, but It definitely appears as though your case can be treated with both tools.
Which one you want to choose comes down to a question of your treatment goals. If you are primarily concerned with the impact on your lifestyle, I would go with Invisalign. If you want the best possible smile, you should go with the Damon Braces.
The reasons why the Damon Braces might give...

Comparing Damon and Suresmile with Invisalign
Theoretically, either system will straighten your teeth since thye don't care where the force comes from (plastic vs. wires).

With Invisalign you have the advantages of it being a clear system that can be removed so you can eat anything you want and brush and floss like a pro! The main downsides are that if you are not 100% compliant and forget to put them in (or if you tend to misplace things) they will...

Invisalign vs Damon and Suresmile
As an orthodontist who uses Damon braces with Suresmile and Invisalign I would agree with orther answers that both modalities will give you excellent results. To my patients I would present the options as more of life style choices, which do you want to live with for a few months?

Damon Braces or Invisalign both work
In your case, they both would be good options. Invisalign compliance seems to be the biggest challenge, where brackets become more predictable since they don't come off. The fee and timeline are likely the same.
If you KNOW you can follow directions and comply, then I would suggest Invisalign.

End result will be the same....choice is yours!!!
The end result of both the treatment modalities is going to be the same. The time line should be the same as well.
Damon braces or Invisalign are both just the tools to move the teeth. it all depends upon the clinicians exposure and expertise in Invisalign. In our office the timeline is same either way whichever way you wish to go.
The differences generally are more in terms of patient (you) compliance. Invisalign treatment is entirely dependent on you to wear the aligners. The fixed braces...
