In looking at your photo, it appears that your bottom teeth may work really well with Invisalign. Of course you would require some adjustments by a cosmetic dentist. However, your top teeth appear to have additional issues that would likely require metal braces. For this reason, I would refer you to an orthodontist that can provide you with orthodontic options. If you are looking for an immediate and permanent solution, a consult with a great cosmetic dentist would be suggested. In my office, a case like yours can be fixed in 1-2 appointments, would a little more expensive than conventional braces or Invisalign.
When looking at orthodontic treatment, the technique of whether braces or Invisalign is being used should not generally play a role in the plan for treatment. To clarify, if there is not enough room in your mouth for all of your teeth, you will need to have extractions or IPR regardless of which technique is used.Other issues such as facial profile and periodontal status play a large role in whether teeth should be removed or not. Based upon the image and limited information provided, it isn't possible to fully determine if you require teeth removed.However, once a treatment plan is decided upon, an experienced Invisalign orthodontist can generally help treatment a wider range of malocclusions than one with less experience. Again, remember that Invisalign is a technique, rather than a product, so the doctor you choose will have a large impact on your experience and your results. Good luck!

It will depend on where these gaps are, why they’re there, and how the adjacent teeth meet against other teeth. Sometimes gaps are caused by missing teeth, or muscle tissue. You will notice different changes throughout the various stages of Invisalign, but not always in the order in which you m...
Your orthodontist can prescribe the teeth to move in any way they want. It's the orthodontist who makes the treatment plan, not Invisalign. I slow down the movements on all of my Invisalign cases, but double the number of trays. I find this to be more efficient and better for...
It’s time to ask for a refund, and contact your dental regulating agency. What does your treatment plan say that was signed before treatment was started? Ask Invisalign for recommendations of providers in your area.
I'm glad to hear that your Invisalign doesn't hurt. It should feel pretty effortless to wear them. Please don't think that you are doing something wrong, just because you are not having the pain that you were expecting. Invisalign is a great product, when used by an experienced...
