I have overcrooked teeth, will I need to have a tooth extraction before my Invisalign treatment?

Q.
Hello,

I am looking to get my teeth treated through Invisalign as they are quite badly over crowded. I have been advised that I will either need extraction or IPR. I would much rather IPR than extraction, however I am concerned about the amount needed to be taken off each tooth. Do you know what the maximum amount of IPR Invisalign advise to take off every tooth? For example – is there a different amount for 1 – 2 compared to 4 – 5?

Thank you in advance,

A.
Thankyou for your enquiry.
I am taking a guess but I do not think that you need extractions unless you have a very large overjet ( teeth stick out). If you have crowding with a normal overjet then you do not need extractions, and I would opt for expansion with very little IPR.
Please send me a picture of your smile from the front and side if you want further advice
