Umm, not sure what these people on this site are talking about. If you have really, really crooked teeth, a good orthodontist will probably not approve you for Invisalign treatment. Invisalign can't do everything metal braces can, which is why I ended up switching. You WILL end up getting buttons on your teeth should you get Invisalign braces and will probably have to get your teeth filed. I had crooked teeth and started with Invisalign.
