Invisalign express vs Regular Invisalign for one crooked front tooth? (photo)

Question

I have this one front tooth that's crooked and it's been always bothering me so much. I'm considering getting it treated finally after many years of contemplation, and invisalign came across my mind. Given my financial situation, I would be happy if I could be qualified for invisalign express and get the result I want! (just fixing this one tooth corrected!) I have doctor's appointment tomorrow, but I also wanted to get other professional opinions here as well!

AI actually think that you would be a great Invisalign Express candidate.  You would likely require some IPR (inter proximal reduction) between a couple teeth in order to create space for your twisted central incisor to move into.  Good luck to you and I hope this helps.

When you go for a consultation they will have to take into
account the overall position of your teeth not just one crocked tooth. It also appears
that you upper front teeth are biting right on top of the lower front teeth, which
could be an issue long term. They would probably need a more involved treatment
then just few trays to be able to correct that.

Looking at your photos there is moderate rotation fo at least 3 incisors and the upper arch looks constricted. My advice would be to look at the back and see why the arch is being constricted.Invisalign express would involve heavy enamel stripping and a great deal of hope that the teeth will rotate in 14 aligners, with no or little refinement.Stick to Invisalign full.

Ask your dentist to submit the case specifying that you ONLY want the front tooth straightened, and asking for "express". If it cannot be accomplished in that few steps, Invisalign will tell the Doc so, and the case can then be changed to "regular".

Gerry Curatola, DDS · Answer

Express Invisalign is a good choice for a minor orthodontic correction with a crooked tooth, minor crowding, or closing some space between teeth. Based on your photo (which is not of good diagnostic quality) you have more than a minor issue of one crooked tooth. You have a crossbite, midline discrepancy, a narrow upper arch and crowding on the lower and upper anterior teeth. My advice is to get a proper consultation with a diagnostic work up and an Invisalign "ClinCheck Plan" which is a great animation that will demonstarte how your teeth will move into their proper place.
