01

The patient’s concern

She had noticeable gaps between her front teeth, which also made them look more prominent.

02

What we found

The gaps could be closed with orthodontic treatment, and closing them would also bring the front teeth back so they stood out less.

03

Our approach

We discussed braces and Invisalign with her and her parent. She chose Invisalign because the aligners are clear and come out for eating and brushing, which makes school life and cleaning easier.

Treatment was planned on a 3D scan, so they could see where the teeth would finish before starting.

04

The treatment plan

1

Digital scan and plan

A scan was used to plan how the teeth would move.

2

Invisalign

About 10 months of aligners closed the gaps and reduced how far the front teeth stood out.

3

Retainers

Retainers were fitted to hold the new position.

About 10 months · 6 to 7 appointments

Regular check-ups while her adult teeth settle

Cost and payment options

Fees depend on how much movement your teeth need and how long treatment takes. After your consultation you get a written treatment plan with costs, before anything starts. Payment plans are available for orthodontic treatment, so the cost can be spread over the course of treatment. See what affects the cost of Invisalign.
