Invisalign and Gap Issues

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.
