Invisalign for my crossbite?

I have a crossbite with my front two teeth and a tooth growing on the roof of my mouth. Can I get Invisalign?

A: Invisalign for crossbite

I'm more concerned with the tooth growing on the roof of your mouth than the crossbite!  I would recommend seeing an orthodontist for an evaluation.  It sounds like you will need conventional orthodontics (braces).  Simple crossbites can often be corrected with Invisalign.

I would get clear braces. My teeth were not bad at all and invisilign did not produce results that I could even notice. The braces are 1/2 the price and incredible and I do not have to wear them for long. My boyfriend thinks they are cute.

This sounds like a severe case. You should defenetly see an Othodontist! Invisalign may not be strong enough to fix all of it.
