Is Invisalign best for sensitive teeth?

I am a 29 year old female. I want to know is Invisalign best for sensitive teeth?

Invisalign is for straightening your teeth and should not affect sensitivity. If you do have sensitive teeth it would be best to find the cause.
Orthodontic management has little to do with tooth sensitivity
The faster teeth are moved, the more sensitive they will be. The type of braces or aligner does not matter. If you have sensitive gums, braces would make the sensitivity worse.

I would chose Invisalign over traditional braces if possible for correction of teeth. We can maintain a better hygiene with Invisalign.
The product used to straighten your teeth is not determined by sensitivity of your teeth. It is determined by the position rotations and angulation‘s of your teeth and how your bite is. Talk to your dental professional about the right product for you
