The first question you may want to ask is how it is different than treatment with traditional braces. While braces use metal brackets and wires in order to straighten teeth, Invisalign uses a system of clear plastic aligners instead. You may want to get a better idea as to how that works and how the aligners would affect your everyday life. Most patients find treatment to be easier with Invisalign, but you will want to consult with your dentist to be sure.
You will also want to ask them if Invisalign is right for your treatment needs. While Invisalign is able to treat a very wide range of orthodontic issues, there are some issues it may not be able to treat as effectively as braces. These issues include patients with bridgework, patients requiring drastic tooth rotation, and patients with particularly bad malocclusions.
