I have crooked teeth, an overbite and an asymmetrical face. Can Invisalign fix this issue?

Question

Okay so I was wonder if Invisalign can help my facial feature because my cheek looks hollow/sunken as if I don’t have cheek bones, and I have a nasolabial fold like an old lady, I’m only 20. My face is also asymmetrical and I have an overbite + crooked teeth and it makes me super insecure. Will Invisalign be able to fix my flaws so I can gain confidence?

Brad Lockhart, DDS · Answer

No, Invisalign will do little to nothing to improve your facial aesthetics. Adult maxillary arch development is your best course of treatment. This will improve your cheek bones, airway, nasolabial fold and TMJ. This can be accomplished with a number of effective appliances; including DNA, Homeoblock, SLDA, Shwarz, etc. The most important thing is not the appliance that is used but finding a doctor who knows how to effectively use an adult arch development appliance to accomplish what you desire.After arch development then it is possible that Invisalign can be used to effectively align your teeth.Good luck!

Consider Epigenetic Orthopedics with the DNA (mRNA) Appliance to correct the underlying Orthopedic issues.
Expansion or the maxilla will improve airway and create room for the mandible to advance with improvement to profile.
