I've always been interested in Invisalign but I've always assumed I was ineligible for it. When I asked my dentist about it she waved it off and immediately said it would not work for me and so I never bothered looking into it further. That was several years ago and I know teeth change and she never gave me a clear reason why Invisalign was not an option for me. I'm thinking of going in for a consultation but first I'd like to hear other dentists' opinions.

Answer: Invisalign may work for you
The photo showing the crowding of your teeth makes it look like Invisalign would be able to align these teeth. The question then hinges on your bite. It's always hard to tell from one photo what someone's bite is really like. In some cases braces give a better result, but only a visit to your local orthodontist who does BOTH Invisalign and braces will provide the right answer for you.

Answer: Consult with an orthodontist
Hi. . I would recommend that you consult with an orthodontist who has experience with invisalign and braces. It is very hard to tell from the pictures what your bite is like- it is evident that you have crowding. It is possible that you are a candidate for invisalign but there may be limitations to what invisalign can accomplish- It is best to learn the pros and cons of braces and invisalign for your particular case. That is why I recommend that you see an orthodontist so that you can review all your treatment options.
