Invisalign for Top Teeth Only?

While it is possible to do things, many times doing only half treatment is more challenging than you previously thought.  Teeth often fit together like a zipper, so moving some teeth may be difficult because the opposing teeth are "in the way".

While it is POSSIBLE, your treating dentist or orthodontist will be able to tell for sure.

Technically, it’s possible but it’s not a good idea. The problem is that, when you alter one ‘arch’ of your teeth (in this case, the upper), the lower will almost certainly then not match. This is likely to cause more problems in the long run and, as it doesn’t cost that much to do both arches, your orthodontist will probably recommend doing both.

It is possible to treat only one arch although certain movements may not be able to be done without doing both arches.  While it is possible your dentist who would be doing the invisalign should be able to tell you for sure.  To be honest it is going to be the same cost whether you do one arch or both so it would probably be better to do both arches.  Hope this helps

That seems to be the question here but not necessarily the answer! While it is certainly "possible" to  treat a single arch Orthodontically often times this will not provide the Patient with the best long term result. The Upper and Lower Teeth  will function best and Pain Free if they relate to each other in a precise and harmonious fashion. Disturbing this relationship by moving Teeth in the Upper Arch while failing to make compensatory movements in the Lower Arch will often times lead to Pain and Discomfort while Chewing. Considering that the fee for Invisalign is similar regardless if you treat one or both Arches you should trust your chosen Dental Provider to make this decision!

As long as straightening your top teeth does not worsen your bite it may be fine to treat only the upper arch.  Often, however, it is not possible to treat just one arch because doing so makes the bite "uncoordinated' and problems may result from this.  Also, getting the bite correct actually helps the teeth stay straight, so it may pay in the long run to correct both arches.  To find out if any of these points apply to your case you should visit an orthodontist for a consultation.
