Invisalign for crowding

Gerilyn Alfe, DMD answers: Invisalign for crowded and fanged teeth?

I'm getting married in June next year and I would like straight teeth for my pictures and for the rest of my life!

I have pretty crowded bottom teeth and some crowding and "fang" looking teeth on top. I also have a partial filling on one of my bottom molars. I would love to use Invisalign and wondering if my teeth will benefit from it?

Invisalign may be a great option for straightening your teeth for your upcoming wedding photos. As far as the "fangs" it could be a combination of how the teeth are sitting in relation to each other as well as the shape of the teeth. After the teeth are straightened, it's not unusual to do a little reshaping of the teeth to soften edges and give a more uniform appearance. You should talk to your dentist about what your concerns are so that you will know whether Invisalign alone will give you the result you want.
