Invisalign or Braces for Anterior Crossbite?
I have a small gap in between my front teeth and also have an anterior crossbite. Will Invisalign fix this, or will I have to wear braces instead?

Invisalign works well for crossbites
Single tooth, or functional crossbites can be fixed fairly well with Invisalign. Whether invisalign can do it depends on the severity. If you have a skeletal crossbite, it is difficult for either braces or invisalign to fix. With a skeletal crossbite, your lower jaw protrudes too far as an underbite, and you would need a combination of braces and jaw surgery to fix. A thorough evaluation can reveal whether you can be treated with Invisalign.
