Is there any chance Invisalign would work in my case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penny<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Penny,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you do, don&#8217;t let anyone pull the tooth. Your smile would never look right. Even if people didn&#8217;t know exactly why, an uneven number of front teeth will always look off.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> You have two great options for straightening your tooth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option One:  Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Invisalign.jpg\" alt=\"Invisalign aligner\" class=\"wp-image-1063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Invisalign.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Invisalign-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Invisalign-768x528.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Invisalign:  The adult solutions to braces<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Invisalign (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/invisalign.html\" target=\"_blank\">Invisalign<\/a> is an option for you.  It used to be that it could only handle the ideal cases, but that is no longer true. Advancements in Invisalign have enabled it to take on more challenging cases these days.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has an additional benefit as well. The aligners can double as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/category\/teeth-whitening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"teeth whitening (opens in a new tab)\">teeth whitening<\/a> trays.
