I have a buccal cross bite on the right hand side which extends as far as the lateral incisor and there's a slight midline shift also, can it be fixed with Invisalign ?

Dear Nombrid,Thank you for posting your question on RealSelf. I will do my best to provide an answer with the information given. From the the photos provided, it seems orthographic surgery combined with orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign or braces is the ideal way to go. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an orthodontist in your area. He or she will gather the necessary information to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs and goals. I hope this helps and good luck!Best,Dr. Jenn

Whether your teeth are widely gapped, overly crowded or somewhere in between, Invisalign has an affordable teeth straightening option for you.

Hi nombrid,An experienced Invisalign provider can do a lot with Invisalign, very similar to what can be done with braces. Crossbites can be very tricky situations, so you want to make sure you see an experienced provider to do a full evaluation. Sometimes crossbites require more than even braces to be corrected, and you would want to know that before starting treatment. I'd recommend an in-person consult in your area!Good luck!
