You will need to talk with your dentist. Just got my invisalign off and my younger sister is 11 she needs braces but she can't get invisalign.

You need an orthodontist. An Orthodontist is someone who specializes in braces. Your orthodontist may be able to give you invisalign or they may send you to an Orthodontist who can.

Do braces work better than invisalign?
No they do not.There are big disadvantages of Invisalign to consider. The disadvantages of Invisalign may include:Not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign. The Invisalign system is for adults and cannot be used if baby teeth remain. Children and younger teenagers will require the more traditional orthodontic Braces with metal brackets and wires.Also the Invisalign system is designed for only certain tooth movements. Your Orthodontist will need to determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign or if you would be better treated with metal Braces or Clear Ceramic Braces.Major tooth movements, skeletal discrepancies, and extensive crown and bridge treatment can influence whether Invisalign is the right choice for you. It may not be.The cost of Invisalign can sometimes be significantly more than with metal Braces. The computerized custom clear Invisalign Aligners will result in a lab bill for your orthodontist which is passed on to you in the form of your treatment fee. With traditional orthodontic Braces there is the cost of the brackets and wires, but no such lab bill for your Orthodontist to cover.The Invisalign Aligners are removable and require motivation to be worn consistently. You will need to decide if you have the self discipline to wear the Invisalign Aligners or if you would be better off with non-removable clear Ceramic Braces or Invisible Braces which are hidden on the back of your teeth.Since the Invisalign Aligners are removable they can be misplaced. Lost Invisalign Aligners may result in an extra charge by your Orthodontist and may delay treatment until your new custom made Invisalign Aligners are replaced. Traditional Braces allow for colors of elastics to be placed on the metal brackets. Some people have fun choosing and changing their colors. For example they choose team colors for football games, or orange and black for Halloween. Invisalignaligners do not involve such traditional colored elastics.Some patients may experience difficulty adjusting to the feel of the Invisalign Aligners in their mouth. Before spending the cost of the Invisalign treatment, you should decide if you are a patient person who can give some time to adjusting to the new feel of the Invisalign Aligners on your teeth. A few patients may experience some gum irritation with the Invisalign Aligners. You should contact your Orthodontist to discuss the problem if you are having pain of your teeth or gums with InvisalignIf you clean your Invisalign Aligners with denture cleaner be sure to discuss any allergies with your Orthodontist first. According to the American Association of Orthodontists web site:"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received at least 73 reports of adverse events, including one death, related to the use of denture cleansers. Allergic reactions and misuse of the denture cleansers are the leading causes of the adverse events. Most denture cleansers include the ingredient persulfate, a known allergen. Literature and research suggest persulfate is responsible for the reported allergic reactions. In addition, the FDA has also received reports of severe adverse events, including at least one death, resulting from misuse of the product. Some patients have gargled or swallowed their denture cleanser, which has resulted in abdominal pain, vomiting, seizures, hypotension and difficulty breathing."In case the Invisalign should not work out for you, then the other options to consider Clear Braces sometimes also called Ceramic Braces. Of course, small metal Bracesare also always available as well.
If there's something wrong with your jawline and you have crowdings because your mouth is too small and you have a lot of teeth can braces help or do you need some sort of surgery?
Braces would probably help, you may need to have a few teeth extracted to make room, that is typical. No surgery though.
Can you find invisalign teen at Walmart or not?
Im pretty sure they do sell it at walmart but you might need tocheck with your dentist before using it
What are some alternatives to braces?
There's also something called Invisalign. Ask your dentist about it and see if you're eligible. Generally, it's only for people with slightly crooked teeth, though. If your teeth are actually pretty crooked, then Invisalign probably wouldn't work well for you.
Do Teeth Gap Teeth Effect Bands really work even for really big gaps and will the gap return if you have a piece of skin between your teeth that people usually have cut in surgery?
I am going to try teeth band effect but I just left my dentist yesterday and she informed me my only way to close my gap is through an orthodontist to get braces or invisalign. I had braces because my gap was really big and the little skin in the middle is a muscle. In order to permanently close your gap is to remove that muscle by having a minor surgery, a frenectomy (I paid about $600). i then got braces but never wore my retainer after and it open up, NOT AS BIG THOUGH but now i plan on using the rubber bands to close it then go to the orthodontist to get a small wire behind my two front teeth to keep it in place. I also had that done but it came off and i failed to get it redone. I have heard a lot of negative feedback about the rubber bands. In your case it would definitely not be a permanent solution, you would need the surgery and the braces. Insurance can possibly cover a portion of the surgery and the braces you can pay monthly, that's what I did, i was 16 paying for my braces at about $109 a month for two years, that's how bad I wanted to close my gap and I know how insecure it can make you feel. You probably feel like you are never going to get it done but little by littel, start withthe consulation of the braces and get the braces first, you could then look into the surgery becasue they can do it with your braces on, I did it like that...Put your mind to it and do it, the outcome is a relief. GOOD LUCK!
Do invisalign take medical cards?
They do sometimes it depends on if the dentist tells you that you can wear them or they will tell you that you need braces....in that case it doesnt cover it...try asking you dentist they probably know more than me haha :) I hope this helped :)
