Invisaling on top and regular braces on bottom teeth is possible. But ensure, it is done by the same dentist. If two dentists are involved, it would be like two cooks making two different dishes in a single pan on one burner!
You can, but I would suggest braces all around. There are braces with clear brackets and you can only see a wire if thats what is scaring you away.
I am pretty sure you can do that, but talk to your dentist. It might cost more to have two entirely different procedures done at the same time.
Yea it's possible but why would you want to do that? It cost more, it's more time consuming, less efficient, and more high maintenance.
If you're going to get braces on the bottom, might as well get them on the top because people are going to know that you have braces anyways. Invisalign is strictly cosmetic, and it has no advantages over regular braces. It moves your teeth slower meaning you're going to have to wear them longer, and you have to keep your teeth clean and flossed (like brushing/flossing after every meal) or it's going to look funny seeing bits of food behind your invisalign. Not to mention, it costs twice as much as regular braces.
Also If you get braces for both your top and bottom, you'll get them off at the same time, instead of having your bottom teeth straight first and having to wait for the invisalign to finish working on the top. The time for getting these appliances off are going to be different, there are going to be more visits to your orthodontists, and makes bigger head aches.
I'm a dentist.
Sure. It's possible.
