Invisalign vs. traditional braces for Anterior Open Bite? (photo)

SD17Jun 5, 2014
I am struggling making a decision about getting treated with invisalign braces vs. traditional braces. I have gone to several orthodontist consultations and have either been told only traditional braces will work or that invisalign is a better option.

I am not interested in jaw surgery (only want to improve my open bite as much as possible)
