Can invisalign be an alternate treatment for braces?

Q. Hi, i am considering invisalign treatment but dont know enough about it yet. My teeth are overcrowded and i am 16 yeears old and would find it difficult around friends at school etc and was wondering if there was any other way of getting my teeth straightend up without proper braces. Can you help with suggestions etc?

A. Invisalign is a great way of straightening teeth especially if you have stopped growing.  I f you are still growing a fixed brace may be best – these can be hidden behind the teeth to make them acceptable socially.
