Certainly...: Invisalign effectively corrects a wide range of dental problems such as mild cases of crooked teeth, protruding teeth to more complicated dental problems like underbite, overbite & other malocclusion issues. Invisalign can also treat the following: gapped teeth, crossbite, open bite, & overly crowded teeth. To make sure if invisalign is an option, check w/ your dentist or orthodontist.

Invisalign: Most things that can be fixed with braces can be fixed with invisalign. However, each individual has a unique situation and so you should visit with an orthodontist to discuss your options. Just because you can hammer a nail with pliers doesn't always make that the most effective tool. Be sure to consult with someone who does a lot of invisalign.

It is effective: Most conditions that require orthodontic treatment can be accomplished with invisalign. The length of treatment depends on the complexity of what needs to be done. Not all dentists or orthodontists are comfortable with this mode of care so seek one who is experienced and skilled in this area.

Probably: The only way to determine if clear aligner treatments are appropriate for your individual situation is to make an appointment for an evaluation with an orthodontic specialist.

Probably not: The more complex the problem, the less it's an invisalign case. See an orthodontic specialist (nota gp) for examination and "triage." orthodontist can asses complexity of malocclusion and suggest the best rx.
