What problems do Invisalign® clear aligners fix?

Invisalign clear aligners effectively correct many common alignment and bite issues, making them an excellent choice for adults seeking discreet orthodontic treatment. Dr. Kim will carefully evaluate your specific needs to determine if clear aligners are the best solution for your situation.

Alignment Issues Clear Aligners Address

Invisalign aligners can successfully treat:

  • Crowded teeth that overlap 
  • Gaps or spacing between teeth
  • Mild to moderate overbite (upper teeth extend over lower teeth)
  • Mild to moderate underbite (lower teeth protrude beyond upper teeth)
  • Crossbite (some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth)
  • Open bite (front teeth not touching when biting down)
  • Minor tooth rotations and tilting

When Traditional Braces May Be Better

Some complex orthodontic cases require the precise control that traditional braces provide. Dr. Kim may recommend braces for severe bite discrepancies, significant tooth rotations, or cases requiring substantial vertical tooth movement.

Fortunately, Dr. Kim offers both clear aligners and traditional braces so that she can recommend the most effective treatment approach for your unique situation. During your consultation, she'll explain which option will achieve your best possible results.
