INVISALIGN TAKES LONGER AND IT’S NOT FOR ALL CASES
SINCE THE ORTHO SAID BRACES ARE THE WAY TRUST HIM

i suggest using invisalign. it’s a lot faster but more expensive. It almost the same as wearing a retainer but it’s clear colored. and nobody can see it.
Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place.
about your wisdom tooth problems..I think that you’ll be fine. Yours will be finish in about 2years or less as long as you visit every month. That will be enough. You have no complications cause your wsdom tooth came out before your braces. Unlike my experience, my wisdom teeth came out during the time i had braces. So they have to be removed! ouch?

Wisdom teeth don’t affect your braces.
I think braces would work better because they stay on your teeth 24/7. Invisalign comes off when you eat so braces would mean that you’ll be getting them off alot sooner (:
I have a slight overbite and a few teeth needed to be rotated. I also had a back tooth that was very far to the side and i only need braces for 18months!
Either way your teeth will eventually become straight.

Everybody I know-including myself-has had braces. I’m not sure how invisalign works if it’s just plastic.
