Q. My top row of teeth are VERY misaligned. Two teeth protrude greatly and 3 are sort of pushed up into my gum. I understand that invisalign would be able to fix the protruding teeth and sort the alignment out but what about those that have been pushed up into my gum? I know you have to see my teeth but I just wondered if you can pull the teeth down using invisalign or if there is a chance that I would have to go ahead with some surgery?,
A. Invisalign can move teeth down sometimes with the help of elastic bands you wear at night. I would need to see you to give you the best way forward. In some cases I put on a clear fixed brace for 12 weeks to bring teeth down and then use invisalign.
