Your case is definitely in the moderate category of crowding and I would estimate it would require about a year of treatment with Invisalign. You can have impressions/scans/pictures taken by the dentist who is proposing care and submit to Invisalign for a proposal. This is called a clincheck. It would answer many of your questions.Good Luck!

This is an excellant situation to consider Invisalign to align and make these teeth blend with others. There are other possibilities too depending on the situation in your mouth. I reccommend you go to a dentist you trust and have him review the best options for your mouth. Good luck!

It is very wise and reccommended by most Invisalign providers to be seen every 6-8 weeks to check on Invisalign progress. Things can happen including teeth not moving as desired and we do not want problems compounding. Hopefully you are receiving passive aligners for your completed arch. Also regular checks allow for questions and the feel of direction you desire. Tell your dentist you want this. Good luck!

ANSWER
If the tooth is indeed nonsavable and you are not prepared to proceed, taking the crown off becomes a problem. If there is any chance of saving the residual root and placing a new crown, then getting the crown off and cleaning it up right away makes sense. The danger of leaving a crown on until it falls off naturally is that you may swallow or aspirate it when it does drop off. Talk to your dentist as it may be better to take it off if you are going to loose the tooth anyway.

Invisalign works great for many adult overbite/overjet situations. Definitely consider it. It is easier to maintain then traditional braces and much more comfortable and equally effective in many situations. A dark tooth needs an xray to know if it might be abcessed requiring a rootcanal. Internal bleaching could then be done. A porcelain veneer is also an option. Talk to an Invialign trained dentist. Good luck!
Asked By: sa re
ANSWER
Yes, your case looks like Invisalign would work without extractions of teeth. You appear to have an openbite in the anterior with your upper teeth flared forward. Invisalign procedures are continuing to improve every year and can very effectively treat these situations. You are probably looking close to a year of treatment. Talk to an Invsalign provider for the specifics and a detailed proposal called a clincheck. Good luck!

ANSWER
Yes, it is very possible your situation could be treated with Invisalign and it is a wonderful way to go. I would reccomend a consult with an Invisalign dentist and it could be verified and a proposal called a clicheck could be done with the Invisalign computer program to determine difficulty and time to do case.

ANSWER
Moving teeth wich may change the situation relative to implant need would make temporary implant placement unwise as tooth movement may positively affect bone position. Talk to your orthodontist.
