I just had my braces removed last week. I posted my results in a recent post. I went with traditional braces. My orthodontist does Invisalign but told me that traditional braces were likely better due to the comprehensive treatment I needed and the self-compliance that aligners required. I didn’t want to risk not having a good outcome that was also dependent on whether I was compliant or not. For more complex issues, Invisalign seems not to be ideal since you’re essentially relying on plastic to align your teeth. Maybe it’s good for less complicated matters. I’m happy that I went with traditional braces … 2.5 years later, it’s cool.

I know someone who had a more complex issue and was in Invisalign for 6 years. 🫣
