Dear Debathome46,Thank you for posting your question on Real Self.  I will do my best to answer your question with the information given.I recommend scheduling a consultation with an orthodontist in your area.  They will gather the necessary information to provide you with treatment options that suit your individual needs.It appears in your photos, that your upper jaw is constricted.  In order to coordinate you center teeth, you will need to expand the upper arch so that it meets the lower teeth properly.  Invisalign can definitely be a part of your treatment, but you are going to need to incorporate arch expansion as well.  During the consultation, the orthodontist will thoroughly explain how this is accomplished.I hope that this helps and good luck!Best,Dr. Jenn

The centering is not the problem.  The massive constriction of your upper arch is and you likely need more "powerful" treatment than invisalign.  Invisalign may be a part of treatment to refine things, but only after your upper jaw gets to be more the size of your lower.
