Ortho methods: Conventional vs invisalign? They both have a place in straightening teeth. It depends upon the extent and type of the malocclusion and the preference of the dentist. Most orthodontists prefer the conventional method as they have more control. Some general dentists with training offer invisalign. I have seen both good and bad results with both methods. The key here is finding the right dentist!

Choices?: Invisalign is more expensive, slower and less effective .... But looks better! your choice if you are a candidate for invisalign.

Seek a consult: Depending upon your particular situation, either braces or invisalign will make more sense for treatment. Both do a good job when applied appropriately. You and your orthodontist will discuss your options and one will make better sense than the other. Good luck and enjoy your new smile!

Consider braces: Hi, difficult to give an answer without knowing what may need correction. However there are different braces - the options are: metal braces, clear braces, lingual braces, invisalign invisible braces and sometimes removable retainers. Which one would be the better, best answer, visit an orthodontist for an examination and let this orthodontist guide you to the best option to use.

Depends.: The orthodontist with whom you elect to provide your treatment is in the best position to answer your question with regard to the various treatment modalities and appliances, and how they can best address your treatment needs.

Malocclusion: Malocclusions (bad bite) are like snowflakes, no two are alike. There are many different medicines (appliances) to treat malocclusions. Traditional braces are still the gold standard. See a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist (exam usually free) to recommend the best treatment for your individual problem. Tufts Dental & Harvard Dental also have excellent Orthodontic Departments.
