Can a crowded tooth be treated with Invisalign?

[Lidia]

Hi

I have one tooth on my top jaw that stands outside the line of my other teeth and is crowded. Years ago, a previous dentist suggested having that tooth removed to make cleaning easier but I did not want to lose my tooth as it was healthy. Is there a way that Invisalign could bring this tooth into the normal line of my bite and in same line as my other teeth? Can you tell me if this is possible with Invisalign? Also could I have my teeth whitened at the same time with Invisalign?

Thank you for your question.

A crowded tooth can be corrected with Invisalign as Invisalign uses IPR (interproximal tooth reduction) and arch expandion and teeth distalisation (moving back teeth backwards) to create space. You can whiten your teeth at the same time with Invisalign aligners. There is no additional charge for whitening for our Invisalign clients at Pearl dental clinic. We need to see you for a consultation to give you an accurate plan.
