For demonstration purposes only.
When you close your mouth and some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth — rather than on the outside, like they normally would — your doctor calls this a crossbite.
A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line.1 This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.2
Yes, Invisalign clear aligners can fix some types of crossbite. We can help you find an experienced Invisalign doctor who can show you what Invisalign treatment can do for you.

The iTero digital scanning system eliminates the need for messy putty in your mouth by creating a 3D digital scan of your teeth. It offers a fast and more comfortable experience and it’s more accurate, resulting in a more precise fit from your Invisalign aligners.
A doctor’s overall experience level reflects the relative number of patients he/she has treated with Invisalign® aligners. Doctors who have achieved the “Plus” status have more experience within a given level. Doctors who have achieved the VIP status are Valued Invisalign Providers.
In addition to treating adults, doctors with a star in their icon also treat teens with Invisalign clear aligners.
