What is the downside of Invisalign?

  1. Not Suitable for All Cases: Invisalign is not always effective for severe orthodontic issues, such as large gaps, complex bite problems, or significantly rotated teeth. Traditional braces or other treatments might be required in these cases.
  2. Potential for Misalignment: If the aligners are not worn correctly, or if the teeth do not move as expected, there may be a need for additional adjustments or refinements, extending the treatment duration.
  3. Attachment Visibility: Some cases require attachmentsβ€”small, tooth-colored buttons that help the aligners grip the teeth. These can be visible and detract from the aligners’ discreet appearance.

Despite these downsides, many people find Invisalign to be a convenient and effective option for orthodontic treatment, especially when compared to traditional metal braces.
