braces or invisalign?!
Question: Braces or invisalign?
- i do care about how i look, cuz i have glasses too, so braces would look A LOT worse than braces. (*note - i can't get clear braces*) i also would have to wear elastics for a while when i have my braces
- i'd wear braces for a year, and invisalign for 1.5 years (i don't care about this)
- the cost is not an issue for me.
- my schedule is really unpredictable, so appointments will be hard to set.
- im in grade 11 right now (grad photos will be taken with whichever i choose)
- with invisalign, i can eat whatever i like, and can comfortably brush my teeth and floss. with braces, i cant do this.
- ***important = braces will give me the 100% perfect smile .. invisalign will take me 85% there.
to be honest, im okay with the way my teeth are now, so im not too crazy about having the perfect smile, it'd just be a bonus or something.
in case this matters, no matter which i choose: i have to get wisdom teeth out before or after the treatment, a retainer for six months right after treatment, and a small wire implanted behind my bottom front teeth so they don't crowd again.

If you are pretty happy with your current smile, then your teeth are probably not that bad off, I would go with Invisalign. I had invisalign a few years back and i am very happy with the results.

I just got invisalign yesterday, so I can answer some of your questions. I know that you can take it out when you eat, but it's actually a pain. Everytime I eat, I have to take them out, and the top retainer hurts SO much. I literally cry when I try and take it out.
Invisalign actually gives you a perfect smile also. Braces and invisalign actually do the same thing. My teeth hurt so bad, and that's how I know that it's working.
Definitely braces. You'll be happy you did later, trust me :)
