My bottom teeth are pretty crowded. Would I have to get them pulled for Invisalign?
Answer: Crowded teeth are pulled less frequently today It used to be very common to have teeth pulled for orthodontic purposes. Today, we do that much less often. From what I can see in your attached photo, I would NOT think pulling teeth would be necessary.

Answer: Pulling out teeth for a crowded mouth You may be surprised when your dentist tells you that you won't need extractionsSometimes severe crowding is due to arch collapse and by just expanding the arch you can create enough space to correct the crowdingyou may need 2 opinions as some dentists do prefer removing teethin most cases extractions can be avoided with Invisalign

Answer: No, you will not need to have teeth removed Looking at your photos I feel expansion with orthodontic treatment could eliminate the crowding without the need to remove teeth. In this situation, I will many times start a case non-extraction and evaluate in approximately 4 to 6 months whether to extact teeth or not. I would, however, highly recommend fixed appliances rather than invisalign to treat your case. There are significant angulations issues with your teeth and to properly parallel the roots is very difficult to accomplish without fixed appliances(braces). Without properly paralleling the roots in the bone during treatment will only result in relapse after your braces are removed.
