Common Reasons Patients Choose Invisalign
Many patients visit us with one or more of the following concerns:
- Crowding: Teeth that overlap due to lack of space.
- Spacing: Gaps between teeth that affect smile or function.
- Overbite: Upper front teeth overlapping the lower teeth.
- Underbite: Lower teeth protruding beyond the upper teeth.
- Open bite: When front teeth don’t touch when biting down.
- Crossbite: Upper teeth biting inside the lower teeth.
If you’re not eligible for NHS orthodontics or prefer a discreet, removable solution, Invisalign may be ideal for you. Book a consultation to assess your suitability and begin your journey to a straighter smile.
