My upper teeth are crooked and twisted but cannot have metal braces will invisalign work

Q. My upper teeth care slightly crooked at the front. I had braces as a child but have been told that the orthodondist used old fashioned techniques that often go wrong. The two teeth immediately on either side of my two front teeth are slightly twisted round and sit a bit behind them. I have attempted braces about a year ago but as an adult can\’t really deal with having them, not being able to speak etc. However, I really want straight teeth (especially having already gone through so much pain, extractions etc to get them!). Do you think the invisalign braces would work for me? Thanks in advance.

 

A. It sounds like invisalign would work. You do need to get the opinion of a proper orthodontist. General dentists are able to do this technique but if you seek the opinion of an orthodontist that uses this technique all the time you will get the best result and they will be able to let you know what the limitations are and if the end result isn’t quite what you had in mind there will be other techniques that can be used. If you are not suitable for invisalign and don’t want to have fixed braces there is always the option of having veneers to correct the alignment of your teeth.
I hope this helps
