INVISALIGN OR BRACES WHICH IS BETTER

I have seen a lot of difficult cases treated successfully with Invisalign. I have also seen a number of cases that were treated with Invisalign that had to be finished with traditional braces. I have not seen the reverse. In my practice, whenever there is any doubt that Invisalign will not give acceptable results, I refer to an orthodontist for traditional braces.

Invisalign or braces?

This should not be your first question!

You of course have to consult with an orthodontist who will be able to do a full examination and give you all the options you have available.
