It amazes me what we can accomplish with Invisalign.

Invisalign can do amazing things with closing spaces and relieving crowding.  I have yet to find a case that we couldn't solve with Invisalign.

Invisalign works great to close the spaces or gaps

One of the top indications for Invisalign is to close the gaps between teeth. It is highly predicatble treatment for closing spaces between teeth. However you should be very careful of jaw tooth size discrepency, that may lead to relapse of gaps even after the treatment is finished.

Invisalign Closes Gaps Well

Invisalign is a great technique for closing (and holding closed) gaps between teeth.  The aligners can grab onto teeth to very effectively move them together, not just push the crowns together by tipping them, but actually get some good root movement as well.  Extreme cases, however, may need actual braces, because braces can move the roots of teeth even more effectively.  An evaluation by a Certified Invisalign Dentist should be performed before determining the... more

Invisalign to close your gaps

Invisalign works to close gaps

Invisalign is really a great way to close gaps between your teeth without touching your own natural teeth. If you have nicely shaped teeth, this is the less invasive way to correct the problem. Invisalign is clear braces that will help straighten your teeth, close gaps and help you attain a beautiful smile that you have always wanted!

Invisalign treament for closing gaps

Yes! Invisalign is a great option for closing gaps. Invisalign (invisible braces) is fast and efficient, and it can close even very large gaps between teeth. If the teeth are healthy and they have a nice shape, I prefer Invisalign over porcelain veneers, as Invisalign is more conservative.
