Answer: Consult an orthodontist who offers both Invisalign and. ibraces First, you need to answer the question whether your teeth can be moved with invisalign, or will braces only do the job, Invisible braces work well, if invisalign will not do the trick. I would consult with an orthodontist who does both procedures. If you can achieve the same results with invisalign, I would go with it. The aligners are removable and you can floss and clean your teeth and better hygiene prevents gum disease and decay. Also, there is less wear and damage to the enamel than with ibraces. Hope this helps!

Answer: Ibraces are uncomfortable! If you only have moderate crowding on your lowers then Invisalign is perfect for that and they are removeable so you can floss normally. The ibraces are bonded on and you cannot floss with them on thus leading to gum disease and bad breath. Also you could have enamel damage from the removal of the ibraces as opposed to no damage from the aligners. Your tongue will play with the lingual brackets and you could get a raw sore tongue from them. Tom Cruise and Woopi Goldberg tried them and ended up having them removed. Just saying!
