Can lower teeth overlap be fixed by Inman Aligner?

Q. Hi I have always had a slight overlap on my lower front teeth, however this appears to be getting worse. I am in my early 30s and have all my wisdom teeth, could they be casuing the overlap to worsen? Would removing my wisdom teeth help the issue or would the Inman Aligner be the best method? If so what kind of costs would be involved?

A. The wisdom teeth are not causing your teeth to cross – all teeth naturally want to drift forwards and if your teeth are not sitting next to each other in an even way then they will be prone to slipping.Inman , invisalign or a lingual brace would be a good option for you.  I often would advise a lingual brace to quickly sort out your problem – this would cost approx. £1540 in my practice.
