Invisalign, Traditional Braces, Or Other?

By Orthodontics Editor, on June 13th, 2009

I’m about fourteen, and most of my dental imperfections aren’t noticeable by most people. However, I notice them. One of my two front teeth is slightly out of place, and I have tiny little gaps on my bottom row. Everything else is perfect.
I have an orthodontist appointment in two weeks, and I’m just wondering what they will probably suggest to my parents. Most importantly, I want to know how my mouth is going to spend the next few years of my life.
Also, do you think I qualify for InvisAlign? I’ve already read all of the pros and cons, so you don’t have to post them.

Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
