Is Invisalign as good as braces?

I want to straighten my teeth. Is Invisalign as good as braces?

Invisalign is really good, but some extreme crowding, or teeth rotation, braces doing better job.
Invisalign is good, depending on the case selection, but no in my opinion it can't do what Conventional braces can do. It's great for mild to moderate crowding issues, but not for everyone
Depending on each case. There are pros and cons to each. If the pt is an Invisalign candidate and is fully compliant, Invisalign would be gentler on the gums, enamel of the teeth, and roots.
Thank you for your inquiry . Invisalign is an alternative to conventional orthodontic therapy with braces . It is a wonderful product and fits the needs of many , however , it is case specific . Please call our practice and we would be happy to schedule a consultation. Thank you. Dr. Zeva
It depends on you. Many people can do very well with invisalign. You would need to see an orthodontist or a dentist who can assess what is best for you.
Is it "as good". You can get the same results. The positive is you can remove them to brush and keep your teeth cleaner. The negative is it's on you to wear them!! But yes you can get the same results. HOWEVER some tooth movements are too complicated and can't be accomplished with Invisalign.
