I'm 22, crowding on the bottom teeth, and small gap and snaggle tooth at the top, and an overbite. Braces or invisalign? How long would treatment aprrox. take which one would generally be most cost effective?
Answer: Invisalign vs Braces
You are a perfect patient for either type of orthodontics. Invisalign may be slightly more expensive but is great for young adults. The treatment time will vary based on which type of orthodontics you decide on. In our area, your Invisalign would be 4500-5500. It would take slightly over a year to have beautiful straight teeth!!!

Answer: Full orthodontic diagnosis impossible from an online consultation
While we all want to help, there really is no substitute for a visit with a dentist or orthodontist for a clinical examination. I CAN say that Invisalign is likely a good option here, but as far as how long or how much, that would require a visit to the clinician.

Answer: Snaggle tooth again?
Dear Enquirer, you have mild upper and lower crowding with a possible upper lip fraenum that sits between the front 2 teeth.
Invisalign can easily correct your problem but your upper front teeth look slightly curved in the middle and to get them to sit better would involve some slight enamel stripping.

Answer: Invisalign?
Thanks you for the photos! it is hard to see your back teeth but, with the ones provided you can do Invisalign. From mild cases of misaligned teeth and protruding teeth, to much more difficult orthodontic cases involving serious malocclusion, overbite, or underbite, Invisalign effectively corrects a wide variety of dental conditions. Whether your teeth are widely spaced, overly crowded or somewhere in between, Invisalign has an affordable teeth straightening option for you. Sure, there are other options out there for straightening your teeth, but none offers the level of comfort, convenience and confidence that you'll find with Invisalign. And no matter what stage you're at in life, you'll appreciate how our cutting-edge approach to treatment has minimal interference in how you live, but has a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself.

Answer: Invisalign a better option for mild crowding and spacing
Based on your photos and without seeing the alignment of your back teeth, invisalign should meet your expectations. It's important however that the way your back teeth touch (your bite) is comfortable and feels stable, and that you are not experiencing any jaw joint pain or noise. You should consult an orthodontist or a dentist familiar with bite and jaw joint problems. Good luck!
