Should I have Invisalign treatment to shrink the gap where I had a tooth extracted?

Q.
I had gone through orthodotics treatment when I was around 14-16 years old, and at that time, my 4 pre-molars were removed.

Currently, I am 33 years old, and I recently got my lower left lateral incisor removed due to infection. My dentist suggest me considering invisalign treatment.

Please can you advise if this is an appropriate treatment for me (as i have orthodotic treatment before.)

Thank you very much.

Dear Enquirer,
If you have a missing front tooth, you have some options for closing the gap.
1. Braces,fixed or removable
2.An implant
3.A bridge

I cannot comment on whether you would be suitable for Invisalign specifically. You willneed to dscuss this further with your dentist.

Hello! I have a a congentially missing right incisor, and overjet. Would invisalign be able to correct this? I am seventeen years old. Thankyou for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to your reply.

Hello I was wondering if invisalign is still possible with an infected tooth?

Hi Gye, Invisalign is not possible on an infected tooth. Everything in the mouth has to be healthy prior to invisalign treatment.

Hello – I have been reading about all your different treatments. I am looking into getting my teeth straightened (less visibly than standard!) I wouldneed BOTH my upper and lower jaws done. It’s only my front teeth that area problem. I understand that you cannot tell me exactly how much anythingwould cost as i’d need to come in for that HOWEVER I’m pretty sure you have a rough idea on costs…..therefore which is the cheapest teeth straightening system you do? How much is it (roughly obviously) I mean for both upper and lower! Also how much do you charge for the inman aligners? Again both upper and lower, and I understand it will be an approximate. Though i’demail rather than coming in as I don’t want to waste your time! Thank you

hi, i would like to have a consultation with a dentist to examine my teethand to determine whether or not i am suitable to have the inman aligner. atthe moment my teeth are in a bad state, so i would need a few teeth treated before teeth straightening can take place. i would like to know the quickest solution so would appreciate it if someone could get back to me soon, thanks.
