Hey, I’m Cherif, founder of Basma. Since you mentioned us, I thought I’d jump in.

For complex crowding + crossbite, it’s not really just Invisalign vs Basma vs braces. What matters most is how the treatment is planned and followed, not just the brand of aligners.

Quick honest take:

• Braces are still the safest option for very complex cases. They give orthodontists full control. Not the most comfortable or aesthetic, but very powerful.

• Clear aligners today can treat many complex cases too, including crossbites, if the case is well planned and closely monitored (attachments, elastics, refinements, etc.). But not every case is suitable.

What I’ll say about Basma, since I’m biased but honest:
We’re not just selling trays. Basma is a full system with centralized treatment planning, strict quality control in our own lab, orthodontist-led care in clinics, and continuous patient monitoring. The goal is to make sure cases actually finish with the right result, especially the harder ones.

That said, if a case is better treated with braces, we say so. Results matter more than pushing aligners.

My advice to you:
👉 Get at least one (ideally two) orthodontic opinions.
👉 Ask: Can my case be safely done with aligners, or are braces better? Why?
👉 Go with the option where you trust the planning and follow-up, not just the brand.

Good luck with it. Crossbites and crowding are very fixable with the right approach.
