Is my Crossbite Too Severe for Invisalign? (photo)

April 1, 2012
Asked By:Glitteryface in Colorado

I am seeing my orthodontist this week, I have had braces in the past and now need them again because the lack of improvement they did on my crossbite. My teeth are grinding at night and the enamel on my teeth is suffering, the crossbite being fixed now is crucial. I am older now and I really dread metal brackets again. It seems my bite is more severe than the pictures I've seen from invisalign correcting crossbite online. The photo attached is my bite as of today.
