Can Invisalign useful for malocclusion? My teeth are about 7mm overjet?


Question:
I would really like to know what Invisalign can and can't do, thanks.

Answers:
i had my teeth straightened, my teeth were about 5mm out and invisalign wouldnt ave worked so i had a fixed brace put on, i had it in for 18 months and hardly noticed! it is tightened every 6 weeks and the bands are changed so they stay white, ive had it off for 6 months and it was the best decision i ever made!
I went in for consultation for Invisalign when I was going to get braces. Invisalign is for minor problems in teeth. I don't think it would be best for you. The traditional metal braces are much more reliable than invisalign. Go with the metal ones. Invisalign only fixes minor spacing and gaps.
Invisialign are more for mild correction. They lack the ability to radically change the bite. If your teeth were just crooked they could straighten them. Your Orthodontist offices staff could best tell you what would be the best braces to put on. I had a bite problem and went with white porcelin braces on top and metal on the bottom. They needed alot of force to change them but this combination didnt look bad and worked out real well.
