Damon Braces Vs Invisalign for Crowded Teeth?

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 you a better result are as follows:


It can be difficult to develop a smile arc (your upper teeth following the curvature of your lower lip when smiling) with Invisalign. A Smile Arc is a key component of a great smile and it looks like in the photos yours might be just a little on the flat side.
 

It is easier to broaden smiles with Damon Braces than with Invisalign, but it appears as though most of your teeth are tipped in so Invisalign will broaden it a bit. Widening smiles to show more teeth makes them come alive.

Theoretically, either system will straighten your teeth since thye don't care where the force comes from (plastic vs. wires). Having said that, here are some factors to consider in choosing between the systems. 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 be completely ineffective and a waste of your money. There is also the risk that there may be some little details that will not be corrected completely as the orthodontist has little control after the manufacturer ships your aligners. The Damon System (or any braces for that matter) coupled with Suresmile can also give you a great result. The advantages of traditional braces over Invisalign are that the orthodontist has more control over your result than with Invisalign, complex tooth movements are possible, and compliance is less of an issue (you can't forget to wear your braces!). The obvious drawbacks to Damon are that braces are more visible, you have to be more careful about what you eat, and cleaning is a little more challenging. If you really "don't care" either way, I'd recommend the Damon-Suresmile combination. You'll get a great result without too much effort on your part... Good luck!
