InvisAlign, traditional braces, or other?

I'm about fourteen, and most of my dental imperfections aren't noticeable by most people. However, I notice them. One of my two front teeth is slightly out of place, and I have tiny little gaps on my bottom row. Everything else is perfect.





I have an orthodontist appointment in two weeks, and I'm just wondering what they will probably suggest to my parents. Most importantly, I want to know how my mouth is going to spend the next few years of my life.





Also, do you think I qualify for InvisAlign? I've already read all of the pros and cons, so you don't have to post them.

Almost everybody is qualified for InvisAlign if they have enough money! lol.





Your situation doesn't sound so unusual or strange. I think the orthodontics might suggest one year of braces...





Have a good appointment!
Reply:I chose Invisalign over traditional braces. I had a few spaces in my teeth that were clearly visible to others. Nothing drastic but it made me self conscious. I could have gone with traditional and it would have done a more precise job overall, but I was only concerned with the spacing. And I didn't want to be confined to wearing metal braces for the next several years. I was finished with Invisalign in 6 months. I'm not positive but I don't think all dentists will allow patients who haven't fully developed "dentally" to get Invisalign.





Also, my Invisalign cost $4500, that was only a little more than what traditional braces were going to cost.
