Invisalign vs. Braces
As noted, only an orthodontist can determine if Invisalign or braces will get the best results for each unique smile. Before treatment, Dr. Lasley will work with you to design a plan that fits your needs and gets the best possible results.
Today, Invisalign and braces are advanced, discreet, and can treat a wide variety of malocclusions (misalignments). As you can see here, there are all kinds of malocclusions, ranging from a common overbite to missing, crowded, and crooked teeth.
In cases where minor correction is required, Invisalign may be preferable. However, in advanced cases, braces may be the most efficient way to achieve the desired results. Importantly, Dr. Lasley’s advanced experience allows him to treat more cases with Invisalign. So, you may have a choice of treatment depending on your smile assessment.

Cons of Invisalign:
- Braces might work better in some cases
- You must wear aligners 22 hours a day
- You must keep track of aligners at all times
- It’s best to avoid sugary, sticky, or hot foods and liquids
Thus, Invisalign has some great advantages in that you can be less mindful about your diet during treatment. Best of all, treatment gets amazing results and has helped over ten million people to date.
