What is better for crowded teeth, Braces or invisalign, and which relapses faster? Is Suresmile a better option?

Question

Really confused as to if braces or invisalign is better for me or not. I have crowding mostly on the right side of my mouth and need help deciding on what is better..i don't want to have to deal with enammel damage and discoloration and i am afraid Invisalign wont work as well as my otho says. Most say braces and one who i feel comfertable with says i can use invisalign and have my teeth straight in 9 months with 2 months of braces after. Should i just go with braces from the start ?

Good question, but the answer is more about who the orthodontist is than what system is better.  I think the public is under a misconception that Invisalign is Invisalign, and SureSmile is SureSmile.  It's not about that, it's about the Dentist!  How good is HE? Many orthodontists can make one or the other work, and of course; some better than others.  Judging from your photos, it looks like a good Invisalign case and that's how I'd do it, but that's just me.  Seek referral to an orthodontist you trust and go with his suggestion.  You'll be fine.
