I'm 27, have very crooked teeth and overbite. Is Invisalign right for me and how long does it take for alignment? (photos)

Question

I have really crooked teeth. One front upper teeth is pushed inside and one bottom teeth overlapping with other. Following pictures can give clear overview. I want to know is Invisalign right for my case? How much time would it take for realignment(approx.) and also approx cost?

Doug Jopling, DDS · Answer

Invisalign can be used for almost any orthodontic condition.  I am providing  a link to a very crowded case I treated so that you may see the possibilities. This case took 14 months to treat and you could have your condition treated with invisalign is approximately the same time frame.Be sure to have a consultations with a sufficient number of dentists or orthodontists until you find one you are sure can treat your case successfully.  Invisalign results will vary depending on the experience and Invisalign training of the dentist or orthodontist who treats the case.

Clear aligners have come a long way.  While the easiest and most successful cases are those with smaller movements, larger movements and more complicated cases are becoming increasingly achievable.  While traditional braces will get you where you want to be quicker, I think that you could definitely get good results using Invisalign or Clear Correct.  It's tough to know exactly without a more thorough examination (radiographs etc.), but I would estimate a two year timeframe.  Prices range depending on your geographical location and complexity of the case.  I'd say 5,000-6,000 but that's an approximation.  Your best bet is to have a consultation with an Invisalign or Clear Correct provider and you can get more tailored information from there.  :)

From your pictures, one thing is obvious, if you are interested in straightening your teeth, you should have a consultation with an orthodontist, a specialist in straightening teeth.  Invisalign is appropriate for many types of malocclusion and a specialist will be able to give you all the options and possible outcomes.

Good Luck
