Dear Shania235sandhu,Thank you for posting your question on RealSelf. I will do my best to provide an answer with the information provided. I recommend visiting an orthodontist in your area. He or she will gather the necessary information to develop a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. It is important to find out why the tooth has not erupted. It is possible to do Invisalign with a missing tooth, but you need to find out if you should wait until the tooth comes in or if it may need some help.  I hope that this helps and good luck.  Best,Dr. Jenn

Invisalign correct all the crooked teeth and maintain spaces for the future implants. They can make both spaces equal in size so the implant crowns will be perfectly shaped. While wearing the aligner, we can now put fake teeth in those spaces, so while you're wearing the aligner, no one knows you have missing teeth. Even after the implants are done and you're healing, you can still wear the aligners. It's great!
