Would invisalign be able to rotate an upper lateral incisor

I seem to have an upper lateral incisor that somehow crowds one of the central incisors to a point it pushes it out a bit. My bite is also not getting in contact from either side when front teeth are on top of the ones on bottom.



Thank you in advance - Yoshi.

I have a similar problem with my two upper lateral incisors, I am considering traditional braces. I suppose depending on the severity of the problem insalign might work but I am not sure.

Lateral incisors are some of the hardest teeth to move with Invisalign, due to their shape. However, experienced orthodontists can use Invisalign to do more advanced movements than those with less experience. Therefore, the answer to your question is that Invisalign can be used to straighten your lateral incisor, but not all doctors will be able to do it properly. Remember that Invisalign is a technique rather than a product, meaning your results will differ depending on who you choose to work with. Good luck!
