I was just wondering if I can get the invisalign treatment after losing two molars?

Question

I had lost two molars a few years ago , I can't get an implant now because the doctor said there isn't any space as the teeth as moved . I have an overbite with crooked teeth . So I wanted to know if there is still hope in getting my teeth fixed even after all this .

Invisalign aligner treatment is to align teeth. Alignment of teeth and replacement of missing [extracted] teeth are separate issues. In your case first step is the alignment of teeth and after that replacement of missing teeth.

Invisalign is an excellent choice for eliminating your crowding, straightening your crooked teeth, improving your bite, and opening up the space you need for implants.  Assuming your teeth and gums are in healthy condition, I would recommend Invisalign or braces as the ideal treatment for your mouth/smile problems and to allow the needed space for your implants.
