Aligners fix far more than they used to — but they're not for everyone, and anyone who says otherwise is selling too hard. Find your situation below.
Teeth overlap or twist because there isn't enough arch space. The single most common aligner case — usually excellent results.
Excellent fitVisible spaces between teeth, often front-and-centre. Aligners close most gaps predictably within months.
Excellent fitUpper front teeth bite too far over the lower ones. Aligners with precision features correct most overbites.
Good fitLower teeth sit in front of the uppers. Mild-to-moderate cases respond well; severe skeletal cases may need surgery-assisted plans.
Case-by-caseSome upper teeth bite inside the lowers, wearing enamel unevenly. Usually correctable with aligners plus attachments.
Good fitHad braces as a teen and stopped wearing retainers? Aligners are the fastest, most discreet way to re-straighten drifted teeth.

You're very likely a candidate if all of these are true:
Severe skeletal discrepancies, some heavily rotated molars, and cases needing large root movements are still better served by fixed braces or combined approaches. Roughly 1 in 10 people who contact us get told exactly that in their free assessment — we'd rather lose a sale than plan a bad case. See how aligners stack up against the alternatives in Invisalign vs braces vs other aligners.
One more honesty note for the "relapse after braces" crowd: whatever treatment you choose, the result only lasts with retention — our retainer and aftercare guide explains why, and teeth shifting after braces covers the relapse biology in depth.
