Can my cross-bite be corrected with Invisalign? (Photos)

Question

I have always had a cross-bite, and have seen photos of people using Invisalign who have had success correcting it. Is mine too severe or do you think it would be possible? Thanks!

Cross bite can be caused by either a narrow upper or wider jaw, or even where both jaws are the same size. In a normal situation the upper jaw is usually wider than the lower jaw and so the upper teeth sit over and outside of the lower teeth.From your pictures I can guess that the crossbite is mild and may be related to the upper arch being slightly narrower, or the teeth have become tipped inwards.As Invisalign can push teeth out from the palate then it is a great, non-invasive option for you.

cross bite correction is easy with aligners as compare to braces. so suppose only cross bite correction is required thn invisalign is good option.
