Should I get a crown after Invisalign?

I want to get Invisalign to straighten my teeth. Should I get a crown after Invisalign?

If a crown has been recommended, I would recommend the crown before Invisalign.
I need some more information to answer this. What do you need the crown for? If you haven't started, you can get the crown first, under my circumstances. That would be good if there was a broken tooth that needs strengthening. Doing the crown after Invisalign works great to fine-tune the appearance after the orthodontics.
It is generally preferable to have any prosthetic work (such as dental implants, crowns and dental bridges) after tooth alignment for 2 reasons:

-The first is that it is more difficult to bond orthodontic materials to the porcelain in dental crowns, and;
-Secondly, you can make the crown to fit properly with your final tooth position and "bite."

While you can have a crown placed and then undergo Invisalign treatment later, it is generally superior to straighten teeth first and place prosthetics afterward.
