Rotate Canines, Will Invisalign Work?

Although canine teeth have long roots and are difficult to move, I have seen dramatic movements of canine teeth that I would not have believed possible.  This was done purely with invisalign treatment.  It may be necessary to use some additional help from wires but stick with the treatment, be patient, you might be amazed at the results.

Rotations are definitely one of the toughest movements to accomplish in the mouth.  Periodontal fibers that attach to the root surface tend to pull and prevent braces or Invisalign from accomplishing the goal of alignment when it concerns rotated teeth.  That's not to say that this cannot be accomplished.   It does take a bit more work, such as the use of attachments for added torque and with patience the teeth will rotate and align.  Invisalign in particular has done numerous studies using various shapes and positions for these tooth colored attachments to achieve optimum results.  Seven years ago Invisalign would have a very tough time with this type of movement.  Now with all of the research done, Invisalign can accomplish this and other difficult movements as well.  So yes you should be able to achieve your predicted outcome.
