You're Likely a Candidate — With a Few Things to Discuss
You indicated some conditions that Dr. Brammeier will want to evaluate before starting Invisalign. The good news is that many of these can be addressed alongside or before treatment. A consultation will give you a clear picture of what to expect.
Let's Talk
Invisalign works for a wide range of cases. Even if only a few statements applied to you, Dr. Brammeier can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the best path forward.
Conditions Invisalign Can Correct
Invisalign addresses a wide range of orthodontic concerns — not just minor cosmetic issues.
Crowding
Teeth overlap or are pushed out of alignment due to limited jaw space.
Spacing
Noticeable gaps between teeth that can trap food and affect your smile.
Overbite
Upper front teeth extend too far over the lower teeth when biting down.
Underbite
Lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth, affecting bite and appearance.
Crossbite
Some upper teeth close inside the lower teeth, which can cause uneven wear.
Open Bite
Front teeth don't touch when the mouth is closed, making biting difficult.
Protrusion
Front teeth angle outward noticeably, often called "buck teeth."
Abnormal Eruption
A tooth emerges in the wrong position or direction within the dental arch.
Recognize any of these conditions? A complimentary Invisalign evaluation can confirm whether clear aligners are the right solution for you.
