Can Invisalign Fix Gaps, Crowding, and Overbites?

If you want straighter teeth but do not want braces, Invisalign may be a good option. Invisalign uses clear aligners to slowly move your teeth into a better position. The aligners are clear, removable, and easy to wear during your daily routine.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign treatment uses a set of clear trays made for your teeth. You wear each set for a certain amount of time, then move on to the next set. Each tray helps shift your teeth a little more.

Since the trays are removable, you can take them out when you eat, brush, and floss. You will still need to wear them as directed to get the best results.

Can Invisalign Fix Gaps?

Invisalign can often close small or moderate gaps between teeth. Gaps may happen when teeth are spaced too far apart or when teeth have shifted over time.

Closing gaps can help your smile look more even. It may also make brushing and flossing easier because there are fewer spaces for food to get stuck.

Can Invisalign Help Crowded Teeth?

Invisalign can help with many cases of mild to moderate crowding. Crowding happens when teeth do not have enough room, so they overlap, twist, or sit too close together.

Crowded teeth can be harder to clean. When teeth are straighter, it can be easier to brush and floss them well.

Can Invisalign Fix an Overbite?

Invisalign may help with some overbites. An overbite is when the top front teeth cover too much of the bottom front teeth.

Some overbites are mild. Others can affect how your teeth fit together, how you chew, or how your teeth wear down. Our dentist can check your bite and let you know if Invisalign is a good choice.
