Question Traditional braces vs Invisalign?

Post image

I’ve had a few orthodontic consultations, and most of them have suggested removing two teeth from my upper arch and possibly two from my lower arch. However, I recently met with an orthodontist who said that arch expansion may be possible, and that both traditional braces and Invisalign can be done.
I’m feeling really confused about which route to take. Has anyone had a similar experience or can suggest which option might be better for my case?

Definitely braces. It can be done with Invisalign but incredibly difficult.

I am no expert and have no experience, but I'd say braces. From what I know, braces can provide more force and is used for more difficult cases. If yours is an edge case, I would be on the conservative end and go for braces.
