I have gone for consultations with 3 different Orthodontics including a Dental University.  They all have concluded I need braces top and bottom to correct the bite and the overcrowding.   2 of them said the invisaligns would correct the "crooked" teeth in front but not the bite and that they are willing to do this. This would help with flossing and brushing.  1 ortho said he would do only braces including an extender at the roof of month.  I never heard of an extender and a picture was shown to me. Does'nt look very comfortable.  I asked a Dental Professor about extender and she advised not to do that as surgery has to be done and since I had cleft palate surgery done as a baby & there is scar tissue in roof of month already may be a problem. 

I don't have TMJ or any pain in jaw, I don't grind my teeth when I sleep.  I can chew fine except for my small mouth.  But I'm used to that.

Does anyone have comments,ideas, suggestions regarding any of these procedures?   I am leaning toward Invisaligns just to straighten the teeth.  

I have asked all 3 orthos if I do nothing will there be a problem later and all of them said no.

Thank you for any suggestions/information.
