Invisalign is NOT for baby teeth
Invisalign is not indicated for moving baby teeth. Are these over-retained baby teeth because the permanent teeth are missing? You may have some other great options to close the gaps, and it would be a great idea to consult with an orthodontist or Invisalign provider AND your general dentist.

Invisalign With Baby Teeth
At this time, Invisalign is not indicated for people who still have baby teeth. Check with your Orthodontist to see what treatment options are available for you.

Invisalign is for permanent teeth only
While it MAY work, doing so on baby teeth is "off label", meaning the treating dentist would be acting alone.
Invisalign is supposed to be started only after all baby teeth are out and the permanent 2nd molars have erupted, usually in the early teens.
