Q: How does Invisalign create space for crowded teeth?

Space can be created in several ways: 1) Expansion of the dental arch. 2) Interproximal Reduction (IPR) , which involves slightly slimming down the sides of some teeth. 3) Tooth extractions in the most severe cases.

Question 1

Can Invisalign fix severely crowded teeth?

In many cases, yes. Advances in Invisalign technology, including SmartForce attachments and the ability to incorporate tooth extractions, have made it possible to treat more complex cases of crowding than ever before. However, a consultation with an experienced orthodontist is essential to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

Question 3

Is Invisalign as effective as braces for severe crowding?
