Which Cases Suit Clear Aligners?
Aligners suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing, mild overbite and overjet correction, some crossbites, and motivated patients who'll wear trays 20–22 hours a day. Discreet, disciplined adults and older teens are the classic match.
They struggle with big extrusions or intrusions, large overbite corrections, substantial root movement, extraction cases needing tight space control, and anyone likely to under-wear the trays.
When Braces Are the Stronger Option
Fixed braces cover a wider span of complexity. Applying continuous force without relying on compliance, they suit complex movements, extraction and space management, significant bite correction, and younger patients who may struggle with aligner discipline.
Ceramic and lingual options narrow the aesthetic gap considerably; lingual braces are hidden from the front entirely. In The Hyde they're worth asking about when you want discretion but your case may be beyond aligners.

Can clear aligners fix my bite as well as straighten my teeth?
Invisalign Comprehensive and equivalent full-arch aligner systems can address a range of bite issues including mild to moderate overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. Severe skeletal discrepancies — where the jaw itself is misaligned rather than just the teeth — typically require surgery alongside orthodontics, which is managed with fixed appliances.
