Can Invisalign Correct a Sideways Tooth?

I basically have have a tooth in the front (the one next to the two main front teeth), which grew in completely sideways. I'm 31 now. My front teeth are all straight except for this one. Kind of looks like this: -/---

Would Invisalign be able to correct this or would I need traditional braces? I will more than likely live with it if I had to get the braces, but wanted to look into Invisalign if it was something that would work. Thank you.

Invisalign and a sideways tooth.

I would really recommend that you go with some real braces instead of Invisalign. The upper lateral incisors and cuspids are especially difficult to get precision correction of severe rotations with Invisalign. They are also right out there in front where they show the most. If you go for a correction you want to try to get it exactly right which is hard to do with the aligners. To make the appliances less visible you might want to try the new Damon Clear braces on... more
