Is it worth getting Invisalign after braces?

The quick answer is absolutely! One of the biggest reasons why adults end up pursuing Invisalign treatment is because they didn’t wear their retainers long enough after wearing traditional braces. This is because recently shifted teeth aren’t permanently in place after realignment due to the alveolar bone.
