Is invisalign able to close front teeth gaps?

Q. My teeth are straight and the only problem I have is that there is a gap between my front teeth. It looks horrible when I smile so I want to get invisalign to sort this out. Is invislaign able to do this? If they are can you please give a general guideline as to how long treatment may take?

A. as your teeth are straight, then to close the gap will mean that the teeth will have to be moved closer together. This will create gaps around the adjacent teeth. So if you want to avoid this then you will need full Invisalign. It will take about 1 year.
