Invisalign question, can you help? (pic included)?!


Question: Invisalign question, can you help? (pic included)?
I have slightly bucked teeth.. I want invisalign but before making my first appt to see if I am even a candidate I was wondering if anyone has experience. Here is a picture of my teeth-

My main question is - is it possible to get upper teeth straightened ONLY and just leave he bottom teeth the way they are.. you cannot see in the picture but they are a little crocked.. I just want my top teeth straight for appearance. I feel very self conscious about my teeth. My fiancee' calls me babs bunny as a joke .... I don't think its a joke ;(

I know only the doc can tell me the price but from what you see what do you think the price will be.

Answers:

Price i can not help you with, each Dr. has there own fees. I can answer your question about only straightening only the upper teeth. You can not only straighten your uppers. Your upper and lower teeth fit together like a lock and key. If you only straighten the upper then your lower teeth will no longer fit together with your upper teeth. You bite will be off. You wont be able to close your teeth together. You will have an open bite. This may cause damage to any of your teeth while talking, chewing or biting because they will hit one another in correctly. You could chip crack or break a tooth, plus be just plain uncomfortable to not be able to close. You will probably drool on yourself as well LOL. Also your straightened upper teeth will move back into the crooked position because they will be forced to move back by the lower crooked teeth. Therefore you will waste all the money you have put into straightening your upper teeth. Hope this makes sense to you.



i think your teeth are to far out of place to use Invisalign but i could be wrong
