Can Invisalign fix all crooked teeth?
It works for many issues—our dentist will assess your suitability at consultation
Invisalign is a great tool for straightening many types of crooked teeth, but it can’t fix all cases. It works best for mild to moderate misalignments like:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Some bite issues like overbite, underbite, or crossbite (depending on severity)
However, very severe cases, complex bite problems, or certain jaw alignment issues might need traditional braces or other orthodontic treatments instead. Also, Invisalign relies on patient compliance—you need to wear the aligners as prescribed for the best results. Our dentist will assess your suitability at consultation.
