Yes, Invisalign will close these gaps. However, what you may not realize is that the roots of the teeth need to be straight up and down, otherwise the spaces will reopen. We make sure that both the crowns and roots fo the teeth are parallel. That way the spaces won't reopen as readily. Also, we recommend some type of permanent retention to keep the spaces closed. It is easy to close spaces, but it is harder to keep them closed.

One of the more predictable situations for Invisalign is closing gaps.  Unless there are severe rotations as well as gaps, you should consider Invisalign as one of your options.
