will invisalign centre my front teeth

Q. Hi I did not have braces as a child, but had one upper 4 removed to ease overcrowding. This has resulted in my teeth shifting round to the right to fill the gap so the front two are no longer centred. Would I need another tooth out on the other side in order to move my teeth back, or would a brace be enough? Would invisalign work?

A. To shift teeth bodily through the bone to recenter your incisors it is likely to require a fixed brace.  You may or may not need a tooth removed from the other side.
