Question: Are braces a good investment? should i do regular braces or invisalign?

I've been told over and over again that I don't need braces, but when I look in the mirror, my teeth are not as straight as I would like them. If I do get braces, I don't if I should do the braces braces or invisalign.

BRACES! Ask your orthodontist if they provide their patients with In-Ovation R or In-Ovation C brackets or maybe even In-Ovation L. Self ligating are the new step to a better smile! In-Ovation Brackets give you this fast, better, more comfortable experience. Invisalign doesn't. Do not get them they are: Uncomfortable, not exactly clear, expensive, getting dirty, take long, need constant tray aligners and cut your gums and are very painful.

I would personally get braces..I have them. I have heard that invialign only gives you a 80% satisfaction..but that is just what i have heard. So good luck!!

I had braces, and I think it was worth it. I'm not self-concious about my smile anymore. I think if it makes you feel better about your smile or just yourself in general, then its worth it. I really can't give an opinion on the whole braves vs invisalign thing, I've only had braces. Good luck :)

I would get normal metal braces if i was you, they work faster. Good luck with your braces!

Yes, they are a good investment. If you feel they're not as straight as you would like them then you should check into getting braces. I would go with the metal braces.
