Can Invisalign fix my slanted and off-center teeth? (Photo)

Question

I hate my off center and slanted teeth because I find it incredibly obvious, and I never want to smile with my teeth in photos. Is it possible to correct this using Invisalign? If not, would it be possible with braces? I have heard that fixing off-center teeth is quite difficult to do, although I'm not sure.

We want you to smile, so go see an Invisalign provider to explain what Invisalign can do for you.Generally speaking, Invisalign is capable of correcting your concerns of slanted and off center teeth. The important thing is for you to be very specific about what it is that you are not happy with, so that your chief concerns are addressed. Dentally, we can go thru the procedure and accomplish everything that technically needs to be done (overbite, overjet, anterior guidance, etc.), but we depend on our patients for the emotional input, or their wish list, of what they need to see happen to make it worth their investment.Traditional braces can do the same for you.A third option would be porcelain veneers to correct the slanted and off-center teeth and to permanently whiten those teeth. Veneers work well for people that want straight teeth immediately.  Once you have your treatment completed, you will love your smile!

It looks like your dental midline is centered with the middle of your nose so that would be the hardest part to take care of. So, simply correcting the slant is possible with Invisalign. You will need attachments placed on tooth number 8 and 9 in order to straighten them up and correct the slant that you're concerned about.Douglas Jopling,  DDSDallas, TX area

Hi!You are correct that fixing an off-center teeth is quite difficult.  Therefore, braces has a better chance to fix your "mid-line."  Invisalign can also correct it however it depends how much you need to move your center.  You would need Orthodontic records to determine that.  Please see a dentist that does both invisalign and braces.  Then you can decide which way you could go.  Hope that helps!
