Yes you qualify for Invisalign..
Your treatment will be around 10-12 months and you should see a great improvement in your smile. You have a deep overbite so your upper front teeth will be pushed up into position. There will need to be attachments on the upper right and upper left to secure the aligner or tray into position. I've had great success doing cases just like yours...Smile

Invisalign fixes overbite
Hi Pandarama,
Yes, I think you could be a great Invisalign candidate. You have a great smile, but there is always improvements that can be made, especially if something bothers us personally. If you can make a change that will make you love your smile more, then it is a good choice for you. When you go for your Invisalign consultation, the dentist will take photos and impressions and send it off to Invisalign for a clincheck. A clincheck is a way for you to see what is possible in your...

Invisalign for straight front teeth
Your front teeth have a particular arrangment associated with a "overbite" of the back teeth (called class II division 2). You will not be aboe to correct the overbite very well with Invisalign but it should work to align your front teeth. If this is all you're looking to do then you will like the comfort and convenience of Invisalign.

Invisalign possibilities
Definitely possible but depends on your goals as the other dentists have said. Also your jaw size relative to each other and/or joint issues and posterior tooth contacts can be a factor. Get a consult at an Invisalign dental provider and have him advise you . He can send in for a Invisalign proposal called a clincheck and show you what can be done. This is done with pictures and Impressions of your teeth scanned into a computer and a 3d virtual model created...

Do I Qualify for Invisalign?
Sure, there are other options out there for straightening your teeth, but none offers the level of comfort, convenience and confidence that you'll find with Invisalign. And no matter what stage you're at in life, you'll appreciate how our cutting-edge approach to treatment has minimal interference in how you live, but has a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself. Many people believe that Invisalign is only effective at treating minor orthodontic...

Invisilign treats many types of cosmetic issues.
Qualified - maybe. The first question is what are your goals of treatment? Invisilign can definitely align your teeth better and make them more attractive appearing. With retention, Invisilign can probably address your issues completely. However, from the photos, it appears that there are other dental issues involved. If you are comfortable and unaffected by the existing aspects of tooth alignment, then Invisilign with retention will probably give you the best...

Yes invisalign will straighten them.
If your "bite" feels comfortable to you, meaning your back teeth fit together in a comfortable manner and you don't suffer from any jaw or jaw joint-related problems, and you're just looking to have straight front teeth, then invisalign will definitely do the job. Based on the few photos you sent, looks like you have a bite discrepancy of your back teeth which we call a class II bite. You should get several opinions about all the options.

Do I Qualify for Invisalign?
When you say "teeth wise" I assume that means if you only want to straighten your teeth will Invisalign do it. The answer is definitely YES. However, Invisalign would not be a predictable method for correcting your jaw to jaw discrepancy.
Good luck!
