Invisalign can close the spaces or gaps between teeth

Invisalign is a great way to close gaps and spaces between teeth but you really need more information to answer your question. Invisalign is very good on patients with over crowded teeth, crooked teeth and closing gaps between teeth. However, there is only so much space they can close. It would also be better to understand, before treatment, why there are gaps in the fist place. They could be because of a tongue thrust problem, or problems with your bite. You need to see a qualifed... more

Invisalign closes spaces

Invisalign is a great option for closing spaces. With space closure, it is really important to try to determine the cause of the spaces so that your orthodontist can plan for the proper retention. For example, if the reason you have spaces are because of a tongue thrust habit (tongue pushes against teeth on swallowing), then you will need a retainer that keeps the tongue away from your teeth. If this is not done, the spaces may return.

Can invisalign close my gap

Invisalign is a great choice for closing your gaps although it does have some limits as to how much you can close. The best course of action is to consult a local dentist or orthodontist who provides invisalign to see if you are a candidate Good luck

Closeing gaps with Invisalign

Honestly it depends on why there is a gap there. Invisalign is very predictable at closing gaps and keeping them closed when there are not underlying counterproductive influences. A few examples would be, a tongue thrust, bite interferences, a large muscle between the teeth that wont allow closer without its removal. This is what would be determined during your consultation.

Invisalign is perfect for space closure and gaps

Invisalign is a very ideal therapy for space and gap closure. Invisalign has so many advantages over traditional braces when it can be used. The teeth are so much easier to keep clean and the trays used look and feel so natural. A trained Invisalign dentist can evaluate your teeth and tell you if Invisalign is possible. You will be able to see what can be done on a 3-d virtual image of your case after the necessary pictures and impressions are... more

More Information Needed

Invisalign can be used to close spaces and gaps but more information is necessary to give you advice as to whether it would be useful in your case. Can you supply some close-up photographs of your smile?

Invisalign treatment has come a long way since it's introduction in the late 90's. Many cases involving crowded, spaced and crooked teeth can be very predictably be treated using invisalign. A consultation with an experienced doctor will help you decide if it's right for you.

Will Invisalign Close the Spaces and my Gap?

It depends , but taking a self assessment on our website will help you .Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal... more
