Q. I am sorry to say that when I was younger I used to suck my thumb and I was still doing so into my early teens. This has left me with an arched gap at the front of my teeth and many people comment to me that they cannot see my top teeth properly when talking to me. This is ruining my life and I never want to go out because of it. I am so embarrassed by my teeth. I there anyway that I can be helped by this Invisalign treatment?,
A. Anterior open bites caused by thumb sucking can be treated with invisalign or other form of braces such as six month braces. It really depends on the severity of the anterior open bite. More complex anterior open bites can be corrected with Damon braces.
