Invisalign or Braces?

[Debbie]

I have had crowded lower front teeth for years. I have been thinking about fixing this problem but have so far put it off.

My questions are:

1. Can Invisalign fix lower teeth crowding?
2. Is Invisalign better than braces?

Please anwser my post urgently because I am really keen to do something about this problem. I am getting married in December and would like the perfect smile for my wedding.

Dear Debbie
It is difficult to answer your question without seeing you. Invisalign can correct lower crowding but it depends on the amount of crowding and your bite.
If you need extractions to make space for the crowding ,fixed braces are more predictable.
With both systems you may not have enough time to correct the crowding by December. In this case Invisalign has the advantage that it is removable and can be removed for the wedding day.
