Will Invisalign correct my inward tilted molars?

August 17, 2016
Asked By:RealSelfMember0455

I sought an opinion from a top 1% orthodontist and he said my case is severe and would require 16-20 months. I didn't think my teeth were that bad but what do I know. Will invisalign really be able to lift my molars upright? Will fixing my narrow arches and overbite/jet screw up my bite? I have TMJ and my teeth already bite down correctly. Will I need IPR, rubber bands...etc.? I feel like a year and a half is a long treatment time; is invisalign my fastest most effective option? Thanks

You can absolutely improve your dentition and smile with Invisalign.  I would expand your upper arch and correct the posterior crossbites which are present and procline your upper incisors.  In addition, I would perform IPR of your lower teeth and constrict the lower arch to create some ov...

Should I be wearing the Invisalign template?
Doug Jopling, DDS says:

That is ridiculous!  The template is "passive" and does not move the teeth at all.  It is simply used to place the attachments on the teeth before aligner tray #1 is worn. You are wasting two weeks and nothing is happening with the template. It will not harm your teeth, but you should tell th...
