Many patients ask at the consultation whether their treatment is better served with braces or Invisalign.
The answer to this question depends directly on the individual case. Factors that determine which treatment modality is better suited include:
- Age
- Type of malocclusion
- Lifestyle
- Individual preference
All of these issues will be considered and discussed with the patient before deciding which one is preferable. Aligner therapy has come a long way in recent years, and with proper treatment planning and careful monitoring, it is capable of addressing most orthodontic issues in adults. As an orthodontist, even if Invisalign is not able to treat the malocclusion 100%, Dr. Schack can always finish the job with braces.
