About how long would Invisalign to close my gap, or make it way smaller to where its about 1/2 the size it is now? (photo)

Question

Also, would my frenum get in the way of being able to have Invisalign. And could Invisalign widen my smile so it isn't so narrow

Maya V. Oliver, DDS · Answer

Invisalign can be a great treatment option for closing space.  A large frenum will not necessarily prevent the space from closing, but can cause the gap to reopen once out of treatment.  In this case a simple frenectomy procedure is recommended.  Invisalign can widen a smile, but your orthodontist can provide the best treatment options for you.

Jay Neuhaus, DDS · Answer

Closing a gap in upper front teeth is one of the quicker procedures, perhaps only taking a few weeks or a month or 2. That being said, the question is where is that space going instead? Your entire upper and lower arch of teeth has to be considered whenever you are thinking about moving a tooth. Discuss your Invisalign treatment possibilities with an Invisalign providor.
