Can Invisalign fix my impacted canine? (photos)

March 14, 2019
Asked By:danni333

I’m 27 years old with my baby canine tooth still fully in tact. The adult canine grew in directly behind it. It doesn’t cause pain but my smile SUCKS because of it. I’ve read dr’s can pull the baby tooth & place Invisalign with a (fake tooth appearance) in the Invisalign to cover the gap while pulling the adult canine forward. Is this an option for me?
