Depends; if you have headaches and jaw pain, no.
no
Invisalign is one of the appliances within my orthodontic tool box. In my practice Invisalign is my preferred appliance for all patients from preteens to adults. However, Invisalign, like all orthodontic appliances has specific disadvantages and specific advantages. Each patient's needs are different and each patient should be assessed according to their needs and expectations off treatment.
Invisalign is a tool. It makes a difference who is using this tool to determine the quality of the result. In my hands, Invisalign works very well and in many cases better than conventional braces. For most people, Invisalign is also a more comfortable treatment experience.
Brace means to hold. Both metal and acrylic trays hold your teeth. The question as to whether in invisalign is better than braces depends on what your treatment should be. Some cases are best treated with metal or porcelain races with wire other cases are treated best with Aligner therapy.

It depends on your teeth. See an orthodontist. They have more advanced training than others and they their daily job is alignment of the teeth and jaws. A good compromise for you could be Inbrace! It's invisible when you smile, but has a lot of the benefits that braces have.
In many cases yes. Aligners have several advantages over braces but cannot be used in every situation. Aligner are predictable and comfortable but they do require excellent compliance in wearing them 22 hours a day.
The better question is what is better for your particular situation which an orthodontist can help you decide. There are special situations where Clear tray aligners might be the better option and others where fixed appliances have an advantage. The obligation of an orthodontist is to have the best possible outcome for their patients, but also meet the preference of patients.
Hello,
It is very difficult to say that one treatment is better than another. Both braces and clear aligners have the ability to straighten teeth. A great treatment result will depend heavily on the diagnosis and skill of the doctor. Braces are very good with complex movements, but clear aligners have really advanced in the past few years. I would highly suggest you meet an orthodontist and discuss the benefits and limitations of both options.
I hope this helps.

There are pros and cons about Invisalign and braces. Personal preference in most cases, however, clinically braces has been proven to be better outcome and less chance of remission.
