I am glad you “want to straighten your teeth.” Why are they crowded and in need of straightening? Seek an answer to that first. You will then be better prepared to use the best tool to “straighten” them. Often, the jaw is underdeveloped, and there is not enough room. Developing the jaws first can provide a better airway with a lower risk of airway related sleep problems. Jaw development is non-surgical and can be done at any age. An improved airway can supply more oxygen to your brain and muscles. This could improve your performance and quality of life. Please learn more about these options.

Thank you for your excellent question.

Every case is different. Ask your dentist.

Not necessarily. That is up to your dental professional and may or not be depending on clinical situations.

Use clear orthodontic braces versus Invisalign will depend on the diagnosis and treatment of your malocclusion, (or crookedness of your teeth,). Clear aligners, (Invisalign,) can be used for many patients, but is unable to correct some issues. Clear braces may be needed to correct a more severe problem. Check with your dentist for what treatment would work best for you.

Invisalign is a brand of clear braces, just like Lexus is a brand. Invisalign has been around the lot fest within the other clear aligned companies so it does have the best technology compared to clear correct or smile direct.

It depends on the corrections that you need. Your dentist/orthodontist knows your mouth. They can give you the best advice.
