Am I a good candidate for the Inman aligner or Invisalign? (Photos)

Question

I had the full treatment of braces when I was younger. Over the years, I lost my retainer and my teeth shifted. I also have small gaps between my 4 front upper teeth and 1 larger gap on the bottom left side of my lower teeth. My bite is also misaligned and I have an overbite. I am not interested in getting braces again, but I am interested in invsalign or the inman aligner.

Great Pics!!!The spaces between your upper front teeth are likely due to the bite- too much bite pressure on the front teeth and not enough on the back teeth.The Inman aligner is not your best choice as you really need to treat both the uppers and lowers.Invisalign will give the dentist control of the bite pressure on all the teeth, as well as create the space in your bite for the upper front teeth to be brought together and the spaces closed.The lower left space is rather large and not likely to be fully closed.The over bite can also be minimized with Invisalign.Find an orthodontist in your area that does braces as well as Invisalign and see what he or she can do for you!
