Sara decided on a 10-month Invisalign treatment to address her crowded teeth and restore her smile. She had been self-conscious about the uneven edges and a lower tooth that even appeared to be missing, pushed toward her tongue due to a lack of space. Now every tooth has its place in her beautifully aligned smile.

Uneven edges
The bottom of these teeth appear uneven due to rotation of the teeth themselves.
Crowding
In this area, the lack of space caused the canine tooth to shift towards the cheek and the second front tooth to move back towards the roof of the mouth.
Severe crowding
This tooth has been pushed back towards the tongue, making it barely visible and appearing darker due to the shadows casted by the teeth in front.

Overbite
An overbite is like wearing a hat that’s pulled down too far over your face. Normally, the hat should sit at a comfortable level, just above your eyes. But in an overbite, it’s as if the hat is pulled down too low, covering more of your face than it should. Similarly, the top front teeth overlap the bottom front teeth more than normal, which can lead to issues with chewing, speaking, and teeth alignment.
Open bite
An openbite is when your upper and lower teeth refuse to meet, leaving a gap even when your mouth is closed. Picture trying to bite into an apple and your front teeth just don’t connect. This can make eating certain foods a challenge and might affect your speech.
Crowding
Picture a group of friends trying to squeeze into a selfie, but there’s just not enough room. Crowding occurs when there’s not enough space in your mouth for all your teeth to fit normally, leading to some teeth overlapping or twisting to find their spot.
Underbite
An underbite is like a drawer that’s sticking out too far from a cabinet. Normally, the drawer should close evenly, flush with the rest of the cabinet. But with an underbite, it’s as if the drawer is left sticking out, extending beyond where it should be. In the same way, an underbite happens when the lower teeth extend out past the upper teeth. This can affect chewing and speaking, and might make your smile look a bit fierce.
Crossbite
A crossbite is when some of your upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth when you bite down, like a puzzle piece that doesn’t quite fit. This can happen on one or both sides of your mouth and might lead to uneven wear on your teeth and even jaw problems.
Spacing
Spacing is the opposite of crowding—think of it as a “socially distanced” smile. If you have gaps between your teeth, like little windows in your smile, it’s called spacing. Closing these gaps ensures your teeth align perfectly, creating a seamless, beautiful smile.
Narrow smile
Here, the back teeth are in shadow because they are positioned in a narrow upper jaw. This can make the entire smile appear narrow and give it a pointed look at the front.
Black triangle and stained filling
Where the teeth do not fit closely together you can see a small gap between the front teeth, this area can also be harder to clean and more prone to staining.
