Possibly: Depending on how large the gaps are and the shape of your teeth, orthodontics, like invisaline may help. You may also need some cosmetic veneers or crowns if the gaps are very large. Have a dentist evaluate and coordinate the orthodontics with the possible crown, bridge or implants that might also be needed.

Maybe: See your orthodontist for expert evaluation and advice. Invisalign works for some situations only. Check with the expert. You are wise to get this treated.

Possibly: The only way to determine if clear aligners can be used to treat your specific situation is to seek an evaluation with an orthodontic specialist. Closing spaces is often within the capabilities of clear aligners.

It depends: Sometimes our teeth are just too small for our jaws. Closing all spaces with small teeth may lead to it looking like you have too many teeth (shark mouth). You need to see a prosthodontist in you area and have a smile analysis done before you are treated with invisalign. Better yet find a prosthodontist that also does invisalign. There are certain proportions that need to to adhered to.

Yes: Invisalign closes spaces well. If some of your teeth are smaller than they should be in proportion to the other teeth, bonding or veneers for these teeth may also be needed.

Maybe: invisalign is a great treatment for mild to moderate cases, but only an examination of your case will enable answering this question. go see an orthodontist for a free consultation

Severity: If you have a lot of large gaps, braces may take less time and give a better result. Talk it over with a qualified Orthodontic Specialist who's diagnostic acumen will be more finely tuned than a GP's who may occasionally dabble in tooth regulating.
