Invisalign and Chain elastics may be the answer

Jennifer Jablow, DDS answers: Does Invisalign work on overcrowding with turned tooth?

Hi, I'm 16 years old. I had braces twice because I didnt wear my retainers. I have overcrowing and one turned tooth. Will invialign be able to fix this problem? If so, how long?

If one tooth is severely rotated it may be better to use chain elastics to rotate teh tooth prior to invisalign. Invisalign is limited in the amount of rotation it can do....

Best to discuss this option with your dentist at your consult
