Would Invisalign provide suitable treatment for crowded bottom teeth?

Q.
hello there Doctor Thorne

I have been told that as I age my lower lip will start to sag and will therefore expose the bottom teeth. i have no problems with my upper teeth which i have had treated with a brace in the past, but i never received any treatment for the lower teeth. Is it possible to straighten out crooked teeth on the bottom only with invisalign. Can you also tell me if it is possible to use invisalign to treat the issue of crowded teeth? I would like this choice best if at all possible for my situation.   thank you very much for your time

A.
Hello Yes unfortunately as we get older we use elasticity in our lips and show more lower teeth. Lower teeth crowding can be treated on their own if there is enough space between them and the upper teeth (ie it won’t affect your bite). Invisalign can also successfully treat crowded teeth often.
Good luck
