Question

Hello, My midline has shifted to left about 4-5mm, how can I fix this? Would Invisalign work?

Joseph Goodman, DDS, DMD · Answer

I need more close up pictures, but yes Invisalign can shift the midline if there is space on the one end where the teeth are moving to and if you understand that you will develop a space on the other side, where the teeth are moving from. An implant may be required.
Invisalign is very sophisticated if you know how to manipulate it well as a cosmetic dentist.

Curtis B. Bedont, DMD · Answer

It is difficult to give you all of your options without doing a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation, but from the picture you submitted, it does appear like you said that your upper midline is off to the left 4-5 mm.  This is not an easy fix with just Invisalign or even braces without additional treatment.  Often a tooth on the right side may need to be removed to help swing the midline over.  Other (more extreme) options involve surgery to move your entire jaw over to correct the midline.  I recommend having an evaluation with an orthodontist in your area to help give you all of your options.
