With Invisalign, I understand that it is now possible to place the buttonattachments on the BACK of the teeth to make it completely hidden. Is this procedure just as effective as putting the button attachments on the FRONT of the teeth?
What are the disadvantages of placing the buttons on the back of the teeth if any?

Invisalign (invisible braces) has come a long way in the past 5 years. Invisalign, once used only for minor crowding of lower teeth, can now be used to treat very crooked teeth, bite alignment issues, and even your deep bite.
While many orthodontists still rely solely on traditional metal braces...
You should never get Invisalign treatment without seeing a dentist. The program is set up by a technician that does not have a dental license. If your case is not followed by a dentist, many issues may arise.
Invisalign would work the same as if you were to get braces. We would obtain the proper amount of space and refer to the appropriate dentist for evaluation. While we are gaining the correct amount of space, it is possible to have a fake tooth in the missing tooth space.
