Invisalign can address a wide range of orthodontic concerns for both teens and adults, including mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. The technology has advanced significantly and can now handle many cases that previously required traditional braces.
However, Invisalign may not suit every situation. Severe orthodontic cases, significant jaw misalignment, or complex tooth rotations may still benefit from traditional braces or a combination approach. The best way to find out is through a thorough assessment with a dentist experienced in clear aligner therapy.
At Dental Folk, we use intraoral photography and digital scans during your consultation so you can see exactly what we see — and we’ll talk through all your options honestly, with no pressure. We’d rather you make the right choice for your situation than rush into anything.
It’s also worth knowing that Invisalign requires commitment. Because the aligners are removable, success depends on wearing them 20 to 22 hours per day. Patients who may struggle with this — such as younger children — might achieve better results with fixed braces.
