I have very crowded, crooked teeth and an overbite, could Invisalign treat this?

April 27th, 2011

my teeth are pretty bad, crowded, crooked and i have an overbite and so i feel i need to turn to braces. I was just going to go for metal braces but then i heard of invisalign which sound great, but i wonder how strong they are, are they only for mild smile imperfections or can they be used for someone like me who has numerous problems and teeth which are in pretty bad condition?

Thanks

How can gaps be closed without moving front teeth back?

March 23rd, 2011

Hello!

I have multiple gaps in both the upper and lower arches of my teeth. I also have a slight overbite, but I don’t believe it is of any concern. My smile is narrow , but I have a large mouth and jaw! The teeth and gaps currently fit well in my mouth and jaw so my concern is that by pushing my teeth back to close all my gaps, my arches will become to narrow and that will have an adverse affect on my mouth/lip shape, and something will not look right when it is all said and done! I forgot to mention that I am a 38 year old female. Do you have any thoughts on this that might be helpful to ease my concerns?

Thank you for your time

I have an overbite, which braces should I get?

February 4th, 2011

Q.
Hello, I have an overbite with some crowding. The best way I can think to describe the situation is that the top two front teeth have grown slightly in front of the teeth either side due to me having a narrow bridge! I have been told Invisalign was not suitable after having me details sent to America by a practitioner in Stafford! Would it be worth getting a second opinion as I imagine my details will again be sent to the same place? Will something such as Clearstep be an option? I really donâ€™t like the idea of having a fixed brace and not just because of the appearance but also because of actually having something fixed permanently in my mouth for a period of time.,
