Can Invisalign correct my buck teeth? (Photo)

Question

I have 2 front buck teeth and i still have wisdom teeth on one side which will require surgery my dentist said..can my buck teeth be fix with invisalign method?

Gerry Curatola, DDS · Answer

Invisalign and most clear aligner removable orthodontic systems do a very effective job of correcting many malocclusions including "buck teeth." Anterior crowding and flared ("buck") central incisors usually respond very quickly. However, you should be aware that a "deep bite" know as a Class II Malocclusion could be the cause or a thumb sucking habit so I recommend a thorough orthodontic evaluation prior to commiting to Invisalign treatment.

Dear heysup5,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 (X-rays, photographs, diagnostic models) to provide you with treatment options that address your chief concerns.  It appears Invisalign can be an option for you or at least a part of your treatment plan depending on how your teeth and jaws fit together.  I hope that this helps and good luck!Best,Dr. Jenn

Depends on what you mean by "fix".  Your front teeth are not really out to far.  Fixing the crowding can be handled easily by invisalign.  Looks more like your lower teeth and jaw are in too much.  The only thing that will make your lower jaw larger at this point is surgery.  However, you can have nice straight teeth and a nice smile using invisalign.  Because there will remain some overjet between the upper and lower front teeth (overbite is technically how much they overlap vertically), you will have to be a little more committed to wearing your retainers when done, but that is easy to do.

Invisalign can help with the alignment of the teeth, but your case appears more complicated.  The profile shows the chin is too far back.  Find an orthodontist for a complete evaluation.  After records/X-rays, your options can be explained.i think Invisalign isn't enough.  Perhaps as part of a phase of treatment, but not all by itself.

You have narrow crowded arches, the best approach ti to expand your arches.  Ideally this is done before 8 years of age but the DNA Appliance can accomplish this is adults.  The appliance is only worn 12-14 hours/dayAvoid extraction, ie contraction orthodontics.
