Can Invisalign Help Bring Down a Canine Tooth?

July 16, 2012
Asked By:mmbby

I had braces on for over 2 years and I just got them off back in December. I've been wearing my retainers as instructed, but for some reason one of my canine teeth is going back up into my gums... While I had braces I had oral surgery to bring down that same canine tooth because it was impacted. After getting my braces off, the tooth had been brought down and now it's starting to go back up for some reason. Is invisalign an option to bring this tooth back down evenly with the other canine?
