My two front teeth flare out with a gap, plus I have an overbite - would invisalign fix this flare?

Invisalign can be a great option to correct flared teeth.  As with any dental treatment, it is imperative that you have a complete examination before starting treatment to determine what caused the flaring.  If it is a recent occurence, you need to rule out periodontal disease causing the flaring.  If your teeth have always been like that, Invisalign could be a great option for you not only to help with esthetics, but also to move the teeth into a more stable bite relationship.
