Pros & Cons of getting "Invisalign" ?!


Question: Pros & Cons of getting "Invisalign" ?
I might get invisalign, but I also might get braces which I don't want . My teeth arent terrible - my bottom teeth are very straight , but my two front teeth are crooked outward, making it look like I have a overbite . Anyway, what are some cons & pros of getting invisalign ?

Answers:

Pro
1) It is not as noticable as braces as there are not metal brackets glued to your teeth.

2) They can be popped out so it is easy to clean

Con

1) There are buttons/attachments that are glued to some of your teeth. This makes it noticable that you are wearing braces.

2) You need to wear them for 20-22 hours a day so you can't have them out for very long. The only time you can really have it out is to eat and brush your teeth.

3) You cannot eat r drink anything with your Invisalign aligners in. You also have to brush and floss after every time you eat/drink. This can be annoying, especially at school because you will be in the bathroom brushing your teeth in your hour lunch period.

4) They take about 6 months longer than traditional braces and do not work as well as braces. Invisalign only works with minor cases and severe cases can be challenging.

5) Invisalign is far more expensive than traditional braces

6) In the beginning you have a lisp.
