Gaps between teeth – treatment with Invisalign caps
Gaps between teeth are visible gaps that can affect either individual teeth or the entire arch. For many people, they are an aesthetic problem, but sometimes they also affect bite function. In many cases, they can be effectively treated with modern orthodontic trays, such as Invisalign.
Gaps between teeth are one of the defects also described in our guide: what malocclusions Invisalign treats. If you want to see more extensively how overlay treatment works, go to the Invisalign Wroclaw website.
What might the treatment of gaps between teeth with caps look like?
The following visualization shows how the alignment of teeth can change during treatment and gradually close visible spaces. In practice, each case is planned individually – taking into account the cause of the gaps, the structure of the dental arches and the desired effect of the treatment.
With the Invisalign system, tooth movement is planned digitally, including using ClinCheck, to better predict the next steps of treatment. Overlays made of SmartTrack™ material support precise, gradual tooth movement according to the plan prepared by the orthodontist.
Can gaps between teeth be treated with Invisalign?
In many cases, yes. However, the possibility of treatment depends on where the gaps between teeth are coming from, how big the spaces are and what effect you want to achieve. During your orthodontic consultation, we will evaluate your bite and tell you directly whether overlay treatment will be a good option.
