CAN I GET INVISALIGN ?? I don't want metal braces!!

You are an Invisalign candidate, but you may want to consider 4 porcelain veneers across the front instead.  Invisaligill take you about 12 months to correct this issue.  You will then need to wear an Invisalign retainer for the rest of your life (mostly at night).  Converesly, porcelain veneers take 1-2 appointments and will likely cost a little less than Invisalign in your case.  They would last 20-30 years, if done properly; they are highly stain resistant and do not require a life-long retainer.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

I think invisalign would be a good option. However, looking at your photo you may have a slight openbite. Normally upper teeth need to go over your lower teeth. The photo can be deceiving so I would recommend you go and see a local orthodontist to make sure your bite is proper. I think you teeth are a fantastic shape and color so my preference would not be veneers as your teeth are healthy.
