Will Invisalign Push Up the Upper Lip?

I heard that Braces will push up your upper lip, will Invisalign do this? Since braces have the bulky metal thing in the front, it will push my upper lip up. This is not good for me since my teeth are already kinda doing that.

Invisalign will not push upper lip

Invisalign is the best way to go if you are worried about how your upper lip looks during treatment. Watch the sex and the city episode of when Miranda got her adult braces and you'll see what I mean...they are hideous!

The aligners are very thin

There will be virtually no effect to your lip. You may feel like your lip is different, but it should appear normal. The aligners are only about one millimeter thick.
