I have a straight teeth except for one. Can I have Invisalign? (photos)

Question

My teeth are generally pretty straight, except for one tooth that sticks out above the rest. The tooth next to my right front. Seeing that I'm almost 32, I really don't want a mouth full of metal. Would Invisalign be an option for my case? Or would ceramic braces be a more likely fix? I think maybe my top teeth do go over my bottoms a bit too, they don't line up perfectly even. Thanks!

It is generally rare just to have 1 tooth out of alignment. In your case your front 2 upper teeth may be angled inwards and may rub against the lower front teeth. The UL2 incisor may also be sticking out a little.With the help of a good Invisalign doctor then you will get a great result without the need for fixed braces.

Yes Invisalign should work well for your case and you would be able to achieve alignment of that one flared tooth as well as rounding out your smile in general and aligning the rest of your teeth as well.

You are a perfect Invisalign candidate. I totally understand your fixation on the single tooth that is the most forward however there is a lot going on here and you would benefit in so many ways .
