Invisalign for Tooth That Grew Above Baby Tooth?

I have a tooth that grew above a baby tooth. Is it possible to fix that using Invisalign or would I need traditional braces?

Invisalign and retained baby teeth

Are the baby tooth and the permanent tooth present?  If so, your dentist may recommend extracting the baby tooth before moving forward with Invisalign treatment.

Sure!!!

Please see Invisalign as another tool to move teeth. Invisalign works same way as traditional braces. The only difference is that in Invisalign, treatment success entirely depends upon your compliance as you have to wear the aligners full time. Whereas, in traditional braces they are fixed on your teeth and compliance is less of an issue. Please see a certified orthodontist for complimentary consultation and review you treatment options.
