Had invisalign. Problems never corrected. I want to get invisalgin again so that the front teeth and left incisor can be shifted to the left, which would create room and bond the smaller incisor bigger. I met with an orthodontist. He suggested bonding the incisors and front tooth and its cost effective. He said shifting the teeth to the left side (which would create bigger gap around the small incisor) and bonding the small incisor will not work because theres a limitation to bonding a tooth.

Answer: Invisalign vs Bonding If your orthodontist says that your smile is hard to correct through Invisalign, I would trust his opinion. Invisalign has it's limitations despite what the advertisements and media say and I have several patients who have been dissatisfied with their final results! I have corrected hundreds of smiles like yours but I prefer not to use bonding unless you want a short term fix. Please consider the option of placing porcelain veneers on all four front teeth which will allow the doctor to "borrow" space from the other front teeth and give you four front teeth that appear symmetrical with central incisors the same width and contour and lateral incisors the same width and contours. Porcelain veneers are durable, rarely need repairs or patching over time, and remain color stable!

Answer: Bonding Bonding would be a great option to close the spaces and lengthen the left lateral incisor, very conservative and cost effective.
