Depending on what needs to be done, it is possible to begin treatment before your baby teeth fall out. A refinement (new batch of Aligners) can be made once your baby teeth fall out. This allows you to fix other problems while you're waiting for the baby teeth to exfoliate.

Invisalign Teen was designed for situations just like yours.  Invisalign Teen allows you to lose your baby teeth and allows your adult teeth to still come in while you are straightening the rest of your teeth.  I would recommend seeing an orthodontist that is a Premier or higher provider.
