My orthodontist recommended Invisalign. Should I get braces or Invisalign?
Invisalign costs the same as braces which is 5,100. I think I need braces, but ortho strongly recommends Invisalign. Does anyone have any experience? Which is the best?

I don't have the same experience, but I go to the web to research. My search was Can a person have crowns and wear braces. Apparently that is a very popular question since I got lots of hits. So I read a few and am posting one link for you.

The place posting their answer is in Pittsburgh but I was just posting for the information for you to read.
And the answer is yes you can wear braces. And it didn't look like there was any advantage to getting invisalign instead. If your Dr. is pushing the idea of Invisalign, there may be a chance that he/she doesn't have experience with doing braces for those with crowns. You might want to do what I did, check the net because it looks like as long as a Dr. knows how to monitor you in braces, there shouldn't be any issues. So copy and put some of the answers you find on line, onto your phone, send it or show it to your orthodontist and ask why he is strongly recommending invisalign. Ask if he/she has any experience with doing braces for people with crowns or bridges. If he/she does not, either go with the Invisalign or talk to insurance and find another Dr. with more experience.
