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: 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!

Answer: Invisalign vs Braces
In general, straightening teeth is what Invisalign is good at. It is sometimes not as effective as braces at correcting overbites. To determine what will work well for you you should see an orthodontist. Aligning your teeth should take about a year with either approach, but if your overbite is extensive, fully correcting it might take a bit longer. Fees vary so much across the country that I'd suggest just getting an exam with several doctors in your area to get a feel for fees.
